ALTA Survey

An ALTA (American Land Title Association) survey is a detailed mapping of a property performed to meet specific standards set by the ALTA and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. It identifies property boundaries, improvements (like buildings and driveways), easements, and potential encroachments, ensuring clarity for real estate transactions. This survey process helps lenders, buyers, and sellers verify exactly what they are purchasing, reducing risks related to boundary disputes or hidden encumbrances. It is a comprehensive, profession-designed document that provides a precise, reliable depiction of a property’s physical and legal boundaries.
