Increasing taxes on rents CHANGES the market; the new market rate will be higher than the old market rate.

Changing property taxes from land+improvements to land is a great way of screwing over the guy with a less-improved lot. If you're looking for a way to take less from the rich and more from the (relatively) poor, that's a great way to do it.
