ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys

The scope of work for the ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey, or boundary survey / land survey, will meet the requirements as outlined under the 2005 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys, as adopted by the American Land Title Association and National Society of Professional Surveyors. The ALTA ACSM Survey standards can be downloaded here.

Members of the American Land Title Association (ALTA) may require land surveying of pieces of land relative to title insurance matters, which require particular information for acceptance by title insurance companies when said companies are asked to insure title to land without exception as to the matters which may be discovered from survey and inspection, and not be evidenced by public records.

For a survey of real property and the plat or map of the survey to be acceptable to a title insurance company for purposes of insuring title to said real property free and clear of survey matters (except those matters disclosed by the survey and indicated on the plat or map), certain specific and pertinent information shall be presented for the distinct and clear understanding between the client (insured), the title insurance company (insurer), and the surveyor (the person professionally responsible for the survey). These requirements are outlined within the ALTA/ACSM standards, dated 2005, and include a site boundary drawn to an accurate scale; data to indicate the dimensions and boundary represented; measurements of distances from corners or parcels to the nearest right-of-way lines of streets; evidence of monuments; all easements, driveways and alleys (in addition to other ways to access or cross the property) will be shown; the location of cemetaries and/or burial grounds; ponds, lakes, springs or rivers coursing through the premises will be shown; etc. The ALTA survey will be certified by a professional surveyor.

Optional Survey items may be specified by the title companies, as summarized within Table A. These additional items will be specified by the client and title company, and may include FEMA flood zone designation, gross land area, contours, vicinty map, etc. The Table A items are further summarized within the 2005 ALTA standards.
