# Property Types

### Overview

Property types allow the site owner to categorize property types into appropriate sections. Nested property types (sub-property types) are supported in JomEstate. JomEstate comes with a property type named "**UNCATEGORISED**" which is the default setting. This property type will list properties which are not attached to any property type (same function as the default Joomla categories system).
