A fixture is personal property after it has become affixed to or sufficiently connected with real property in such a way that state law treats the property as part of the real property to which it has become affixed. See UCC 9313(1)(a). Carpeting is a good example of a fixture. The criteria for deciding whether or not personal property becomes a fixture varies among the states. For example, a piece of equipment bolted to the floor of a manufacturing concern may be considered personal property by the law of one state but a fixture by the law of another state. In these materials we do not explore the criteria which states have adopted for determining whether or not an item of personal property becomes a fixture.
