What Is an ALTA Survey?

An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is the gold standard for due diligence in commercial real estate. These surveys adhere to the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements set by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). They’re required by lenders and title companies to ensure legal, insurable land transactions.

LADBS and Department of City Planning requirements
California Professional Land Surveyors' Act

Is an ALTA survey required in Los Angeles?
