Property Ownership

AA fee simple interest in the sidewalk strip✓ Correct
BAn easement over the property
COnly maintenance responsibilities
DNothing — dedication requires compensation
Explanation
A dedication to the public (city) typically transfers fee simple ownership of the dedicated land, not just an easement. The dedicated land becomes public property, removing it from the private owner's tax obligations.
