Which of the following does the Department of Real Estate not administer?

  1. The California Building Code

  2. License renewal

  3. Complaint investigation

  4. License examination

The correct answer is: The California Building Code

The California Building Code is indeed not administered by the Department of Real Estate (DRE). Instead, the California Building Code falls under the jurisdiction of the California Building Standards Commission, which is responsible for the development and adoption of building standards and codes in the state. On the other hand, the Department of Real Estate oversees key responsibilities related to real estate practitioners, including the renewal of licenses, the investigation of complaints against licensees, and the administration of license examinations. These functions are integral to maintaining regulatory standards within the real estate industry in California, ensuring that professionals adhere to the laws and regulations that govern real estate practices.
