Question juridique clé
Whether the first-home compensation levy of CHF 246,000 violated constitutional rights by being arbitrary, unequal, confiscatory, or disproportionate.
Solution extraite
The levy was constitutionally permissible; assessing the benefit on average market conditions and the purchase price was defensible.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the relevant advantage was the ability to sell on the second-home market. It may be assessed by average conditions rather than the concrete individual profit. A 20% levy on the purchase price was not confiscatory, and the lower profit claimed by the appellant did not make the calculation arbitrary.
