When a person's land is rezoned to a use that reduces the value of the land by 25%, the owner

  1. Can appeal the decision

  2. Must be compensated by the government

  3. Is entitled to no compensation

  4. Has the right to revert back to the original zoning

The correct answer is: Is entitled to no compensation

When a person's land is rezoned to a use that reduces the value of the land by 25%, the owner is entitled to no compensation. This is because the government has the right to regulate land use and make decisions about zoning without having to provide financial compensation to the affected landowner. Option A is incorrect because appealing the decision cannot guarantee compensation for the loss in value. Option B is incorrect because the government is not obligated to compensate the landowner for the reduction in the land's value due to the zoning change. Option D is incorrect because there is no guarantee that the owner will be able to revert back to the original zoning.
