What Is an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey?

An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is a detailed survey used primarily in commercial real estate transactions to verify property boundaries and identify any risks that could impact ownership or title insurance.

These surveys follow nationally recognized standards and are typically required by:

Lenders
Title companies
Commercial real estate investors
Developers and attorneys

What Does an ALTA Survey Include?

An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey provides a comprehensive view of the property, including:

Boundary lines and legal property description
Buildings and structural improvements
Easements and rights-of-way
Encroachments and boundary conflicts
Access points and utilities
Title exceptions and recorded documents

This level of detail ensures that all parties involved in a transaction have a clear understanding of the property.

When Is an ALTA Survey Required?

ALTA surveys are commonly required for:

Commercial property purchases and sales
Refinancing or securing large loans
Title insurance policies
Land development projects
High-value real estate transactions

In many cases, lenders require an ALTA survey for properties valued over $1,000,000, though requirements may vary.

Why Choose an ALTA/NSPS Survey?

An ALTA survey provides critical protection and clarity by:

Identifying potential title issues before closing
Preventing boundary disputes and encroachments
Meeting lender and title company requirements
Supporting informed investment decisions

For commercial property transactions, this is one of the most important due diligence steps.

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.

Boundary Surveys & ALTA Surveys

A boundary survey is a key component of an ALTA/NSPS survey. It establishes the exact location of property lines and serves as the foundation for the full ALTA report.

By combining boundary data with title information, an ALTA survey delivers a complete and legally reliable property overview.
