There's a reasonably simple change that would allow application of Harberger's taxes.

1. Restrictions have to have a "controlling party": a dedicated party that controls the restrictions and can agree to lift it. Classical example would be HOA, but it can also be a seller if they want to sell property with additional restrictions.

2. The controlling party sets the price of a restriction

3. Restricted party can remove the restriction paying price set in 2 to controlling part.

4. The controlling party pays tax as percentage of price set in 2.

So you still have renters paying property taxes.

Renters are the controlling party. Landlords are the restricted party- they can not rent to other people or use the house themselves.

In a supply-restricted markets taxes and subsidies are ultimately paid by a supplier independent on who actually transfers the money to government.
