also note that state laws may also dictate what is part of the permanent real estate and what is personal property. for example in my satte. a lamp that plugs into an outlet is personal property. a light fixture that is hard wired into the property's electrical system is real property. throw rugs are persoanl property tack down carpeting is real property. Most furniture would be personal property
