What is real property?
Real property refers to land, and anything permanently attached to it—such as buildings, infrastructure, and fixtures—and includes the legal rights and interests tied to that property, like easements or rights of way. Municipalities use real property to perform public functions and hold it in trust for community use, strictly for governmental purposes.
