Why ALTA Surveys Matter
As the gold standard for commercial real estate due diligence, an ALTA survey provides clarity and protection for buyers, lenders, and title companies. It helps verify that the physical property condition aligns with public records, removing potential surprises. Many lenders and title insurers require a current ALTA survey to remove the “standard survey exception” from the title insurance policy.
Key Components of an ALTA Survey
Every ALTA survey includes mandatory elements such as property boundaries, building footprints, access, rights-of-way, recorded easements, and improvements. Beyond those, clients may request optional items through “Table A”—for example, flood zone data, zoning information, topography, parking counts, and underground utilities. These reduce risk by making the survey truly tailored to your project.
The ALTA Survey Process
The process begins with title commitment review and public records research to gather easements, encumbrances, and legal descriptions. Next, fieldwork is conducted to locate monuments, improvements, and boundary markers. The collected data is then integrated with title information, and a draft plat is circulated for review. Once finalized and approved, the survey is certified by a licensed surveyor.
When Do You Need an ALTA Survey?
ALTA surveys are typically required when purchasing or refinancing commercial real estate, securing title insurance, or developing multi-unit or institutional properties. Even for vacant land intended for development, an ALTA survey can uncover hidden encroachments or boundary issues that a simple boundary survey might miss. It’s a crucial step to mitigate transaction risk.
