Comments for Fixture
which one of these is not a fixture? land, shrub, tree swimming pool
Dec 25, 2018 21:10:02Land is real property, obviously. You can't take the land with you when you move.
Jan 09, 2019 04:28:46Shrubs and trees, since they are attached to the land by roots, are fixtures.
Swimming pools that are not fixed in the ground are NOT fixtures. So, even if it is well integrated into the property, like a jacuzzi or a prefab swimming pool, that is personal property. Trade fixtures are also not true fixtures.
