Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Utah Real Estate Sales Agent Exam involving variance and Utah Division of Real Estate. What should the licensee understand? (Item 10)
Answer choices
- A. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- B. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
- C. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- D. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
Correct Answer
B. Recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship in a way that fits Utah exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because variance requires candidates to recognize relief from zoning rules due to property-specific hardship. The Utah 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.
