An ALTA survey is a national standard for a boundary survey showing potential easements and other survey matters by location of existing visible utilities and improvements on the site and performed by a registered licensed professional surveyor and prepared in accordance with the standards specified by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS).
An ALTA/NSPS survey is a complex and detailed land survey designed specifically for title insurance matters. It includes a collection of property record information and physical surveying data that is required for acceptance by title insurance companies to insure title to land without exception.
Together with additional items requested through the Table A Schedule, an ALTA/NSPS survey will give you piece of mind during your property closing by removing standard title insurance exceptions.
ALTA surveys also serve as a Property Profile for the developer or property owner. It identifies the development potential of the assets and restrictions on the property including zoning, setbacks, easements and land area.
