Houses in Netherlands used to have a "window tax" so they built very few windows into the houses.

Well property taxes are based on property values... just like seaside property is worth more, I can see how some mountain property is worth more.

They will lose. My oceanfront home was hit with a "view tax" ten years ago. When we won, the city had to refund all monies for 3 years, and pay our legal fees.

F'em in Orford. 236 Rats voted for Kerry, 71 for Bush in 2004. These rural tax-maggots have been putting the squeeze on the more affluent portion of the state, trying to increase our taxes in Bush country to improve the schools in thier 1 horse towns.

"In Bischoff's case, the view added $140,000 to his property's underlying value of $22,900. As a result, he expects his property taxes to jump from less than $500 last year to more than $3,000 this year."
Wow

Note that it's the government's view, not that of the owner of what is being viewed. In no other market is the owner of the asset so penalized.

Class warfare makes a "view tax" perfectly acceptable, but morally and legally unjustifiable.
This trend needs to be nipped in the bud. If the decision is made by an elected official, vote him out.
If by an appointed or hired bureaucrat, fire him. Here is one area where timidity or hesitation is fatal.
If they can't wait until the property changes hands and the real value established by how much a purchaser is willing to pay, then too bad.
Arbitrary and capricious subjective self-serving governance has never been moral, legal nor Constitutional.

sTUPID, LOCALITIES ARE WORING IN "VIEWSHEDS" IN gENERIC Environmental Impact Studies.
If you read viewshed or view tax, run for the hills, or perhaps a cave.
