Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A seller is reviewing documents before accepting an offer involving zoning. Which statement best describes zoning? (Item 30)
Answer choices
- A. It is primarily a tax rule with no effect on brokerage practice.
- B. Recognize zoning as an exercise of police power regulating land use.
- C. It removes the need for written disclosure if the licensee believes the client already knows.
- D. It can be ignored if the transaction is expected to close quickly.
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.
