A prefabricated shed not yet assembled on a parcel is most accurately described as

• A. Real property
• B. Personal property
• C. A fixture
• D. An appurtenance

Answer: (B)

The main idea is that classification hinges on attachment to the land and the intent of permanence. A prefabricated shed that hasn’t been assembled on the parcel isn’t attached to the land or a structure, so it’s movable and considered personal property (chattel). It would become real property only if it were permanently attached and intended to stay as part of the property—then it would be a fixture. It isn’t an appurtenance, since it doesn’t automatically run with or benefit the land in its current, unattached state. So, the best description is personal property.
