Most of the USA doesn't have a land tax. Instead, there is a property tax, which is determined by what's sitting on the land.

This not true. US property taxes nearly all tax both the land and any improvements (i.e. permanent structures) that sit on it.

My property in the US is taxed by: ( [assessed value of the land] + [assessed value of the building(s)] ) * [tax rate] = [total tax]
