A problem of georgism?

I thought of a problem:
Assume that a man or an organisation is given the posession of a given
piece of land and proceeds to build a building on it. The ground the
building stands on is state owned, but the building itself is his
property, as defined by Georgist thought.
Then assume that he will be unable, or possibly unwilling to pay his
land tax/single tax. Then what happens? If he/the organisation is
evicted from the land, what about the building ON the land, which is
still his? Will that be confiscated, or will it be sold to another
owner, and the value minus what the man/org owes the state be
subtracted?
Whats your thoughts on this?
