ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys
What is an ALTA Land Survey?
An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is a detailed boundary survey designed specifically for title companies, lenders, and commercial property buyers. This survey ensures that a property meets the high precision standards set by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS).
Before issuing title insurance or mortgage loans, financial institutions require an ALTA survey to uncover any survey-related risks, such as:
✔ Boundary disputes
✔ Encroachments (e.g., fences, buildings, or driveways crossing property lines)
✔ Easements (documented or undocumented rights for utilities, roads, etc.)
✔ Zoning & land use issues
✔ Legal description discrepancies
What Does an ALTA Survey Include?
An ALTA Land Title Survey provides a comprehensive property overview, including:
Boundary lines & property dimensions
Building locations & improvements
Rights-of-way & easements (utilities, roads, railways, etc.)
Encroachments or other potential title issues
Underground utility locations (if requested)
Zoning classification & building height/square footage
Essentially, an ALTA survey acts as an “x-ray” of your property, revealing potential legal or financial risks before purchase, development, or refinancing.
