There are a few differences between real property tax and personal property tax. First, the term "real" usually involves homes, apartments, or land that a person may own. Personal property tax usually refers to personal luxury items such as jewelry. Additionally, vehicles are not considered "real" property. Real property is sort of land-based property. Another example would be a farmhouse or even a bridge.

Is there a difference between property or real estate taxes?

No, if it's used in the general context. For example asking someone if they paid their property taxes or their real estate taxes is essentially saying the same thing. Technically, however, there are two types of "property" real and personal. Real property is the rights to land and improvements to the land. Personal property is all property other than real property; it's not permanently attached and is, therefore, movable. Examples of personal property include business equipment and furnishings.


How significant is that classification today real property and personal property?

The difference between real and personal property is as significant as the difference between apples and oranges. Apples and oranges are both fruit but are still completely different. You can't make orange juice from apples and you can't make apple pie from oranges. Real property is the land and anything attached to it. Ownership of real property is a matter of public record and that record is maintained in various land records systems used in jurisdictions that allow private ownership of real property. Personal property is anything you own other than real property and is divided into two categories: tangible and intangible. Tangible personal property is something you can touch and is movable. Intangible personal property is property that has no physical existence. Examples are: stocks, bonds, bank notes, trade secrets, patents, copyrights, professional reputation, goodwill and trademarks. Some "untouchable" items may be represented by a certificate or license.

Real property is land and anything attached to it that cannot be severed without injury to the land such as homes, garages and other buildings. Personal property is any movable or intangible thing that is subject to ownership and is not considered real property. Building materials stored on a building lot would be personal property. Once the house is built it becomes part of the real property. Fixtures in a building sit on the line between real and personal property. You can read more about that distinction at the link below.
