ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey

An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is a specialized boundary survey that adheres to the standards set by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). It is designed to provide comprehensive and detailed information about a property, including boundary lines, improvements, easements, rights of way, and other important features that could impact ownership or development.

This type of survey is primarily used in commercial real estate transactions, as it provides essential details required by title companies and lenders to issue title insurance policies. The survey follows the Table A requirements, which specify optional survey responsibilities and standards, ensuring a thorough and reliable assessment of the land.
