Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question

Question

A property manager is preparing a written response involving nonconforming use. Which response best protects the client and keeps the transaction compliant? (Item 91)

Answer choices

1. A. It is primarily a tax rule with no effect on brokerage practice.
2. B. It removes the need for written disclosure if the licensee believes the client already knows.
3. C. Identify a lawful preexisting use that may continue after zoning changes.
4. D. It can be ignored if the transaction is expected to close quickly.

Correct Answer

C. Identify a lawful preexisting use that may continue after zoning changes.

Explanation

The correct answer is C because nonconforming use requires candidates to identify a lawful preexisting use that may continue after zoning changes. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
