ALTA Land Surveys

Gold Standard graphic
ALTA Surveys are often requested by title companies and lenders (especially in commercial transactions) because they provide more details about the property than other survey types, allowing the lenders to evaluate the property in more detail and more accurately weigh their degree of risk. 

An ALTA survey is one of the most detailed surveys available. ALTA Surveys must meet the requirements specified by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS); and must be produced by a registered licensed surveyor.

For more information about ALTA Surveys, Gary Kent, Chair of the Joint NSPS/ALTA Land Title Surveys Committee, explains the ALTA Survey process at www.nsps.us.com/page/ALTANSPSStandards.

  • Property boundaries
  • Easements
  • Encumbrances
