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.

BindingFlags.Public | BindingFlags.Static | BindingFlags.FlattenHierarchy worked for me.As an actual quick and simple solution to the question asked, you can use this:
propertyInfo.GetAccessors(nonPublic: true)[0].IsStatic;
Better solution
public static class PropertyInfoExtensions
{
public static bool IsStatic(this PropertyInfo source, bool nonPublic = false)
=> source.GetAccessors(nonPublic).Any(x => x.IsStatic);
}
Usage:
property.IsStatic()
Why not use
type.GetProperties(BindingFlags.Static)
BindingFlags.Public, BindingFlags.NonPublic, or both). Second of all, this simply lists static properties (input is Type, output is PropertyInfo[]), whereas the question is "given a property, how to determine if it is static?" (input is PropertyInfo, output is bool). I guess the closest thing to your proposal would be to slap .Contains(property) at the end, but I'd argue it would be a sub-optimal solution.
