What Is a ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey?
An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is a detailed boundary survey that meets the rigorous standards established by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). These surveys are required for most commercial real estate transactions, providing the detailed information needed by title insurance companies, lenders, and attorneys.
At Apex Surveying & Mapping, we specialize in ALTA surveys for commercial properties across the state. Our licensed PSMs understand the Table A optional items and can tailor your survey to meet specific transaction requirements, whether you're acquiring office space, retail property, or industrial facilities.
The 2021 ALTA/NSPS standards require extensive research, field measurements, and certifications. We handle everything from boundary determination to flood zone classification, easement identification, and building location verification.
