When dealing with zoning codes and land use, thoroughness and knowledge of up-to-date requirements are key to making sure your property transactions proceed smoothly. That’s why ALTA surveys have become a standard—and often required—form of surveying.

ALTA surveys strictly follow the national requirements established by both the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). With these standards in place, ALTA surveys provide title insurance companies, buyers, lenders, developers, designers, and attorneys with peace of mind when moving forward with commercial real estate transactions and vacant land purchases.

The ALTA Survey is a detailed map of the land showing all existing improvements of the property, utilities, and significant observations within the insured estate. The survey details the surveyor’s findings concerning the property boundaries and how it relates to title. The Survey delineates or makes note of all easements and exceptions cited within the title commitment for insurance of the secured party. The survey may also show zoning and flood zone restrictions or areas indicating potential future use of the property. The ALTA survey is a combination of a boundary survey, title survey, and a location survey.  If you need your boundary survey, or engineering design survey conducted, hire a team of professionals with decades of experience.

Whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or broker an agreement, ALTA surveys are a necessary component of modern commercial real estate transactions. Need a reliable ALTA surveying partner who can protect you from potential liabilities? Contact PMP Consulting Inc. today.
