Services: ALTA/NSPS Surveys
What is an ALTA/NSPS Survey?
An ALTA/NSPS Survey is a comprehensive land survey conducted to standards set forth by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS).
This type of survey provides crucial details about real estate properties, including boundary lines, encroachments, easements, rights-of-way, improvements, and other factors affecting ownership and use. It is typically required for real estate transactions, refinancing, and title insurance purposes.
Why Do You Need an ALTA/NSPS Survey?
When purchasing, selling, refinancing, or insuring commercial property, stakeholders—including property owners, lenders, insurers, and attorneys—require detailed and accurate surveys to avoid potential disputes and liabilities.
An ALTA/NSPS Survey helps protect all parties by clearly documenting property conditions and uncovering potential issues not evident in public records.
Key Components of an ALTA/NSPS Survey
From records research to certified plats — every step that ensures precision
-
Land Records Research:
A thorough examination of property deeds, historical records, and adjoining properties is conducted to accurately interpret original boundary descriptions. A title company will provide a title commitment that contains exceptions to the title insurance which could show potential conflict. These additional records are located and provided by the title company's research team.
-
Detailed Fieldwork:
Surveyors perform a thorough on-site investigation to accurately determine property boundaries, encroachments, easements, utilities, and improvements.
-
Comprehensive Plat:
CAD team produces plat, or map, that clearly illustrates the findings of the fieldwork, showing precise property dimensions and identified features. The plat contains a list of labeled exceptions, as well as certifications pertaining to ALTA/NSPS standards.
-
Optional Table A Items:
Specific survey details requested by clients, based on their unique requirements, are shown on the plat (such as zoning, flood zone classification, building heights, and more).
