Frequently asked questions

What is an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey?

An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is a detailed survey prepared to the national standards jointly adopted by the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. It documents boundaries, easements, improvements, and encroachments for use in commercial real estate transactions and title insurance.

Who requires an ALTA/NSPS survey?

They are most often required by lenders, title insurers, buyers, and their attorneys during the purchase, refinance, or development of commercial property, where extended title coverage and thorough due diligence are needed.

What is Table A?

Table A is an optional list of additional items within the ALTA/NSPS standards that the client can request, such as topography, zoning details, parking counts, utility locations, and flood zone designations. You select the items that fit your transaction.

How long does an ALTA/NSPS survey take?

Timelines depend on parcel size, complexity, title work, and the Table A items requested. Many commercial sites are completed within two to four weeks once title commitment and records are available, subject to scheduling.

How much does an ALTA/NSPS survey cost?

Cost varies with acreage, number of improvements, title exceptions to plot, terrain, and the Table A items selected. Request a free estimate and we will scope your specific property and transaction.
