What is an ALTA Survey
An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is a detailed property survey that meets the specific requirements of the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. These surveys are essential for commercial real estate transactions, as they provide comprehensive information about the property’s boundaries, improvements, easements, rights-of-way, and other critical features.
Based in Decatur, Alabama, Mid-South Testing is your local expert for precise ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys.
At MST, Our ALTA Surveys Include:
- Property Boundaries:
Accurate depiction of the property’s boundary lines, including measurements and descriptions. - Easements and Rights-of-Way:
Identification of any easements, rights-of-way, or encroachments affecting the property. This includes utilities, access roads, and other shared or restricted areas. - Improvements:
Documentation of existing structures on the property, such as buildings, fences, and utilities. This also includes details about the location and dimensions of these improvements. - Legal Description:
A precise legal description of the property, which is crucial for title insurance and legal purposes. This typically includes metes and bounds, or lot and block information. - Zoning and Land Use Information:
Information on the property’s zoning classification and any restrictions or regulations that apply. This includes details on land use and any applicable zoning ordinances. - Flood Zone Information:
Analysis of the property’s flood zone status according to FEMA flood maps. This helps determine if the property is in a floodplain and what risks might be associated. - Title Exceptions:
Identification of any title exceptions or encumbrances that might affect the property, as specified by the title company. - Surveyor’s Certification:
A certification by the licensed surveyor confirming the accuracy and completeness of the survey, adhering to ALTA/NSPS standards. - Surveyor’s Stamp and Signature:
Official stamp and signature of the licensed surveyor who conducted the survey, verifying its authenticity and compliance with professional standards.
These components ensure that the ALTA survey provides a comprehensive overview of the property, addressing legal, regulatory, and practical considerations for buyers, lenders, and title companies.
