Lots of countries value land and improvements separately (e.g. New Zealand, Australia, Denmark) for council rates (property tax essentially). Here in New Zealand, there are several companies that provide valuation services to local councils (and private individuals if you want to value your property). You can dispute the valuation if you think you're being unfairly valued (usually because you want to pay less property tax).
