What Is an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey?

An ALTA/NSPS survey is the highest standard in commercial land surveying, defined jointly by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). It establishes the exact boundaries, improvements, easements, and encumbrances affecting a property.

Prime Engineering produces surveys compliant with the latest 2021 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements, ensuring lenders, title companies, and counsel receive a complete, accurate representation of the property.

What’s the difference between an ALTA and a boundary survey?
An ALTA survey includes boundary data plus title elements (easements, rights-of-way, improvements) and complies with national Table A standards.

Can you coordinate with my attorney or lender?
Absolutely. We work directly with all project stakeholders to meet lender and closing requirements.

How long does an ALTA survey take?
Typical turnaround is 2–4 weeks, depending on site complexity and Table A scope.
