Question & Answer
Review the question and all answer choices
$5,000
A is incorrect because $5,000 is below the maximum civil penalty established by Minnesota law. This amount might represent a typical fine or penalty for certain violations, but it does not reflect the statutory maximum.
$10,000
$50,000
C is incorrect because $50,000 exceeds Minnesota's maximum civil penalty for license violations. This amount might be found in other states for more serious violations or in federal real estate regulations, but it's not applicable in Minnesota.
$100,000
D is incorrect because $100,000 is significantly higher than Minnesota's maximum civil penalty. This amount might be associated with criminal penalties or federal violations in real estate, but it doesn't apply to Minnesota's civil penalty structure.
Why is this correct?
B is correct because Minnesota statute establishes a maximum civil penalty of $10,000 per violation. This represents the upper limit of financial punishment the state can impose for license violations, though actual penalties may be less depending on the severity and circumstances of the violation.
