What Is an ALTA/NSPS Survey?

An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is the most comprehensive survey recognized by the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. Required by lenders and title insurers for most commercial real estate transactions, it documents boundaries, easements, improvements, encroachments, and access rights to a nationally standardized specification.

Commercial Boundary Surveys

Precise boundary determinations for commercial property purchases, development planning, and boundary dispute resolution — performed to current ALTA/NSPS standards.

Why ALTA Standards Matter for Commercial Deals

Unlike a standard boundary survey, an ALTA/NSPS survey is performed to a nationally standardized specification accepted by nearly every title insurer and commercial lender in the country. It provides a comprehensive picture of a property's legal and physical condition — reducing transaction risk and protecting buyers, sellers, lenders, and title insurers alike.
