An ALTA survey (American Land Title Association survey) is a comprehensive land survey typically required for real estate transactions, particularly when purchasing commercial properties. It provides detailed information about the boundaries, dimensions, and features of a property, including the location of easements, rights-of-way, improvements, utilities, and encroachments. The survey follows strict standards set by the ALTA and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS), ensuring accuracy and consistency. An ALTA survey is often used by title companies, lenders, and attorneys to confirm the legal status of the property, resolve potential issues, and facilitate the closing of a real estate transaction.
