Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Oregon Real Estate Broker Exam involving property taxation and broker supervision and disclosure practice. Which answer best reduces risk? (Item 32)
Answer choices
- A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- B. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- C. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- D. Recognize taxation as a government power affecting real property in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize taxation as a government power affecting real property in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because property taxation requires candidates to recognize taxation as a government power affecting real property. The Oregon 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.
