Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question
Question
An escrow officer requests clarification from the broker involving variance. What should a California real estate licensee understand? (Item 112)
Answer choices
- A. It is primarily a tax rule with no effect on brokerage practice.
- B. It removes the need for written disclosure if the licensee believes the client already knows.
- C. It can be ignored if the transaction is expected to close quickly.
- D. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because variance requires candidates to recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
