REAL ESTATE TIP OF THE DAY
Yard plantings are considered real estate fixtures because they are permanent improvements to the land and are considered to be part of the real property. Fixtures are items that are attached to the property in a way that makes them an integral part of the property and cannot be easily removed without causing damage to the property. Yard plantings, such as trees, shrubs, and landscaping, are typically intended to remain in place for an extended period of time and are often an important part of the property's overall value. As a result, they are generally considered to be fixtures and are included in the sale of the property. Anything planted in a pot is considered personal property, as it can be simply lifted and moved and not planted in the ground.
