Civic_admin is a little too specific, but government is not specific enough. 90% of the land in some western American States will be owned and managed by some level of government; eg National and State forests and grasslands, parks and monuments, military reservations, wildlife preserves, BLM land

In Sweden government agencies are actually not allowed to own the properties they use. Therefore they have long term tenant contracts with required minimum level of building maintenance, etc. These properties are owned by large private real estate giants buying and selling from each other.
