The answer

If the land and its structures are for residential purposes, there is no on them. If the building is for rent, there is no zakat on its value or on the land itself, but rather on the rental income received from it, provided it reaches the (minimum threshold) and a full year has passed over it. However, if the land and building are for trade, then they are considered trade goods, and zakat is obligatory on their value every year, regardless of whether there is profit or knowledge of it.
