Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A first-time buyer asks for exam-focused clarification involving zoning. Which statement best describes zoning? (Item 10)
Answer choices
- A. It allows a salesperson to act independently of the responsible broker.
- B. Recognize zoning as an exercise of police power regulating land use.
- C. It shifts all responsibility to escrow and eliminates the broker’s duties.
- D. It makes oral promises enforceable in every real estate transaction.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize zoning as an exercise of police power regulating land use.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because zoning requires candidates to recognize zoning as an exercise of police power regulating land use. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
