FieldInfo has an IsStatic member, but PropertyInfo doesn't. I assume I'm just overlooking what I need. 

Type type = someObject.GetType();

foreach (PropertyInfo pi in type.GetProperties())
{
   // umm... Not sure how to tell if this property is static
}

To determine whether a property is static, you must obtain the MethodInfo for the get or set accessor, by calling the GetGetMethod or the GetSetMethod method, and examine its IsStatic property.
