You should sit down with the county tax people and they can estimate what the increase in taxes would be for a glass enclosed lanai. Considering you are already paying taxes on the screened in lanai (45% of value), the additional yearly amount should not break the budget for the comfort you can expect.
I know someone who did same, and said the ac from their house and the fans on the lanai make the lanai comfortable.
