Which actions constitute a F.S. 475 Third-Degree Felony violation?

• A. Advertising property inaccurately
• B. Failing to disclose known defects about a property
• C. Violating zoning laws
• D. Acting as a broker or sales associate without license; knowingly giving false information in applying for license; theft or reproduction of a Department license exam

Answer: (D)

The main idea is understanding which real estate license-law violations are classified as third-degree felonies under F.S. 475. The three actions that meet this felony category are: acting as a broker or sales associate without a license, knowingly giving false information on a license application, and theft or reproduction of the Department’s license exam materials. These offenses strike directly at the licensing process and public trust, so they’re designated as third-degree felonies.

Other options describe improper or unlawful behavior, but they don’t carry the third-degree felony classification under F.S. 475. Advertising property inaccurately or failing to disclose known defects may lead to disciplinary actions or civil remedies, while violating zoning laws is a regulatory matter outside the license-law felony framework.
