A.L.T.A. Land & Property Surveys

ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys

Christensen & Plouff Land Surveying specializes in ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys for commercial and high-value properties. These surveys are performed according to the strict standards set by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) to ensure that property boundaries, improvements, easements, and encroachments are clearly documented.

What Does an ALTA Survey Include?

Property boundary lines
Structural improvements
Easements and rights-of-way
Encroachments on the property
Exceptions to the title

The ALTA survey is comprehensive, often used for commercial properties to meet lender requirements and ensure the property’s legal and physical condition is well-documented.

Why Choose an ALTA Survey?

ALTA surveys offer more than just property boundaries. These detailed reports:

Protect against disputes or title issues
Meet lender and title insurance requirements
Are crucial for refinancing, selling, or developing commercial real estate

Boundary Surveys for Accurate Results

In addition to ALTA surveys, a boundary survey is often required to confirm the precise location of property lines. This ensures that any potential boundary disputes are resolved before transactions or developments.

The American Land Title Association & Boundary Survey

The American Land Title Association has published guidelines that are used by lenders to determine that a property is free of any problems that may affect the value or the sale of a property. A surveyor can perform an A.L.T.A. Survey to show a property’s boundary lines, improvements, easements as well as any encroachments or other “exceptions to title”. The map is similar to a topographic or architectural topographic map, but is completed to the A.L.T.A. standards and is certified to the property owner and lender. An A.L.T.A. survey is primarily required for commercial properties or for loans over $1,000,000.00.

When is a Boundary Survey Required?

A boundary survey is required in conjunction with the A.L.T.A. survey in order to certify the location of the property lines.
