Current through Vol. 42, No. 1, September 16, 2024

(a) The term "materials for the purpose of developing and improving real property" as used in the Sales and Use Tax Codes, means all tangible personal property, including any device or appliance used by builders, contractors, or landowners in making improvements, additions, alterations or repairs to real property in such a way that such tangible personal property becomes identified with a part of realty.

(b) A device or appliance becomes a fixture and a part of the real property to which it is connected when it is built into or is attached to a structure in such a way that its removal would substantially damage or deface such structure.

(c) Where the removal of the device or appliance would not substantially damage or deface the structure to which it is connected the following factors shall be considered:

(1) Actual connection with or attachment to real property. To become a part of real property, the device or appliance must have some physical connections such as: by bolts, screws, nails, cement piping, or cable; by contact, where by reason of great weight or bulk, no additional attachment is required; by contact, where the device or appliance is necessary to make complete or usable something which is real property; by attachment to another device or appliance which has become a part of real property.

(2) Appropriateness to the use or purpose of the real property to which connected. The use or purpose of the device or appliance must become an element of the use or purpose of the real property to which it is connected.

(d) This Section is not intended to apply to cook stoves, refrigerators, dishwashers, washing machines, dryers, curtains, draperies, and portable heaters, acquired for the personal use of householders or tenants which may be removed without material damage to the building in which they are used.
