California Real Estate Practice Exam

Builder A turns over the streets in his new subdivision to the town by?

1. Statutory dedication

2. Private grant

3. Public easement

4. Municipal acquisition

The correct answer is: Statutory dedication

Builder A turns over the streets in his new subdivision to the town by statutory dedication. This means that the streets will become the property of the town through a legal process mandated by the state, rather than through a private agreement or acquisition. Options B and D are incorrect because they both involve a transfer of ownership through private means, rather than the legally mandated process of statutory dedication. Option C is incorrect because a public easement allows for public use of a property, but does not transfer ownership. Therefore, A is the correct and most appropriate answer.
