Property Ownership
Iowa's fee simple subject to condition subsequent differs from a fee simple determinable in that:

BThe grantor must take affirmative legal action to reclaim the property if the condition is violated, rather than automatic reversion✓ Correct
CIt applies only to commercial properties
DIt provides no right of reversion to the grantor
Explanation
Under a fee simple subject to condition subsequent, if the stated condition is violated, the property does not automatically revert. The grantor (or heirs) must take legal action to exercise their right of re-entry to reclaim title. This differs from the automatic reversion of a fee simple determinable.
