fixture
A fixture is typically a piece of equipment or furniture that is fixed in place or secured in a particular position within a building or structure. It is usually permanent or semi-permanent, and intended to remain in place even when the property is sold. Fixtures can include items like lighting systems, sinks, built-in wardrobes, or heating units among others. Additionally, in context of law, a fixture is considered a part of real property.

In this latter sense, the same things may be fixtures under some circumstances, and not fixtures under others
Etymology: [Cf. Fixure.]

Fixture
A fixture is a legal concept that includes any physical property that is permanently attached or fixed to real property which once removed will cause [permanent] damage to the real property, usually land. If the property is not affixed to real property it is considered chattel property. Fixtures are treated as a part of real property, particularly in the case of a security interest. A classic example of a fixture is a building, which in the absence of language to the contrary in a contract of sale, is considered to be part of the land itself and not a separate piece of property. Generally speaking the test for deciding whether an article is a fixture or a chattel turns on the purpose of attachment. If the purpose was to enhance the land the article is likely a fixture. If the article was affixed in order to enhance the use of the chattel itself then the article is likely a chattel. Chattel property is converted into a fixture by the process of attachment. For example, if a piece of lumber sits in a lumber yard it is a chattel. If the same lumber is used to build a fence on the land it becomes a fixture to that real property. In many cases, the determination of whether property is a fixture or a chattel turns on the degree to which the property is attached to the land. For example, this problem arises in the case of a trailer home. In this case the characterization of the home as chattel or realty will depend on how permanently it is attached—such as whether the trailer has a foundation.
