§ 481.225.Tangible Personal Property

This definition is counterintuitive at first glance: chattel paper, documents of title, instruments, and securities are financial paper, not physical goods in the everyday sense, yet § 481.225 groups them with money as "tangible personal property." That classification matters because it determines which levy procedures in Chapter 8 apply — these items are attached by taking physical custody of the paper itself (or a comparable formal step), the same general approach used for tangible goods, rather than by the notice-based procedures used for accounts receivable and general intangibles, which are intangible in the ordinary sense.
