Most places in the US have had property taxes for centuries, so these implementation problems have already been solved (not always very well, but money is collected). Disentangling the land value from any improvements is a bit tricky, but not much more than determining the value of the total property.
I have thought that valuating your own land could possibly work, but people would have to have a more detached sense of land/home ownership for that to work. People get emotionally attached to where they live, but maybe encouraging people to be less attached would help many current problems in society cause by NIMBY issues.
