What Is an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey?

An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is a detailed survey used in commercial real estate transactions to show property boundaries, easements, rights-of-way, improvements, access, encroachments, and other title-related matters.

ALTA surveys are commonly required by lenders, title companies, attorneys, and buyers before closing on commercial real estate.

Boundary survey information and property dimensions
Recorded easements, rights-of-way, and access matters
Buildings, improvements, fences, walls, and visible encroachments
Utility evidence and site features visible at the time of survey
Optional Table A items based on lender or title company requirements

Why ALTA Surveys Matter in Los Angeles

Los Angeles commercial properties often involve complex title records, older subdivisions, easements, access issues, encroachments, zoning concerns, and development restrictions. An ALTA survey helps identify these issues before closing, financing, construction, or redevelopment.

A properly prepared ALTA survey can help your team:

Confirm the property boundary and improvements
Review title exceptions shown in the title commitment
Identify easements, access issues, and encroachments
Support lender and title insurance requirements
Reduce surprises before purchase, refinance, or development

What Is Included in an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey?

Each ALTA survey is scoped based on the property, the title commitment, and the Table A items requested by the client, lender, or title company.

Review of the legal description and title commitment
Boundary evidence and record survey information
Mapped easements and exceptions affecting the property
Building footprints and visible site improvements
Fences, walls, driveways, parking areas, and access points
Visible encroachments, overlaps, or potential conflicts
Survey certification for the approved parties

Optional Table A items may include zoning information, flood zone information, topographic features, parking counts, building height, utility information, and other items depending on the project scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is an ALTA survey required in Los Angeles?

An ALTA survey is often required for commercial property purchases, refinances, lender review, and title insurance purposes. The exact requirement usually comes from the lender, title company, attorney, or buyer.

What is the difference between a boundary survey and an ALTA survey?

A boundary survey focuses on property lines. An ALTA survey includes boundary information plus title commitment review, easement mapping, visible improvements, access information, encroachments, and selected Table A items.

How long does an ALTA survey take?

Turnaround depends on property size, site complexity, title issues, Table A items, and revision requirements. Many ALTA surveys can be completed within 5–10 business days after receiving the title commitment and scope information.

Can you include zoning, parking, utilities, or topography?

Yes, when requested as part of the project scope. These items are usually handled through selected Table A items or additional survey services.
