Practice question: Original Registration

Multiple Choice Medium

Practice question

An applicant seeks to amend an original-registration application to add a substantial adjoining area omitted from the published land description. Can the added land simply be included without the corresponding publication and notice?
  1. No; substantial boundary changes, increased area or additional land trigger the same publication and notice requirements
  2. Yes, any amendment avoids notice
  3. Yes, if the applicant pays a surveyor
  4. Yes, because the original notice covers every nearby parcel
  5. Yes, if the added parcel is valuable
