§ 33390 Real Property Definition

Key Takeaways

  • •Real property is land, like your backyard or a farm.
  • •It also includes buildings, like houses or stores, and things attached to the land, like fences or trees.
  • •If something is used with the land, like a driveway or a right to walk across it, that’s also real property.
  • •Even things like mortgages or debts tied to the land count as real property.

Example

You own a house with a big yard and a garage.

The house, yard, garage, and even the fence around it are all real property. If you have a mortgage on the house, that’s also part of the real property.
