I'm not sure about the sequence of things or the rules for FL. so I can't answer directly. My experience here is that the TV room has a closet, therefore it's appraised as a bedrm. This affects the size of the septic system I had to put in (sized according to # of bedrooms) and of course, the taxes.
One guy i know went so far as to wall off a couple rooms with drywall until after appraisal, then he cut the holes for the doors afterwards. Just sayin'.
So basically if we closed off (wink wink) the closet, then it wouldn't be considered a bedroom and once all is said and done we can open it up. Of course we would want to finish that closet before drywalling over it so that whenever we did decide to open it it's all done except for cleaning up the mess and finishing the rough cut after cutting out the drywall that would cover it. Something to consider if it's going to save some on the property appraisers value i.e. property taxes!
