Of course it will. You just need to charge the land value tax to the owning
entity. The same is true now for any taxes, fees or fines regarding that
property.

If those are not paid, government can seize and auction-off the property.

There really should be limits on who can buy residential property and how much
of it one can own. Maybe property taxes that ratchet up exponentially the more
residential property under one's ownership. Large anonymous property firms
owning peoples' _homes_ simply shouldn't exist.
