Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A property manager asks how a rule affects a rental property for the North Carolina Real Estate Broker Exam involving property taxation and material facts and due diligence practice. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 52)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- B. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. Recognize taxation as a government power affecting real property in a way that fits North Carolina exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize taxation as a government power affecting real property in a way that fits North Carolina exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because property taxation requires candidates to recognize taxation as a government power affecting real property. The North Carolina reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
