CALL (251) 255-2550 for an ALTA Survey
An ALTA Title Survey is generally similar to a boundary survey or lot survey on a piece of property. But, the ALTA survey goes a little farther in the requirements on the land surveyor as he/she carries out the survey, both in the field and in the office. The ALTA standard is a national one, whereas each state has their own individual surveying standards.
An ALTA Title Survey is completed based on the “Minimum Standard Detail Requirements and Accuracy Standards For ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys.” This standard document was developed and is revised on a regular basis by a combination of Title industry and Surveying industry professionals. The latest version of this document is the 2016 revision.
ALTA Surveys are typically done for any commercial, retail, or multi-family land development project. These are typically large capital investments and lenders require title policies, which means the title companies need to know all they can about the project. Property boundaries, potential encroachments, and unforseen easements will affect the title and can cost lots of money to clear up later. The Land Surveyor is trained to look for these issues on the ground and to read the legal descriptions to locate potential problems. We are the "land experts" for owners, lenders, and title agencies.
