What Are Alta Surveys?

Just as every valuable thing has a set standard that has to be followed throughout the nation, there is a set standard for survey methods. This is known as ALTA survey, which is followed by banks, lenders, cooperates and government organization, and the survey result found through this is considered to be a valid one. ALTA stands for American Land Title Association, and it is developed in cooperation between the American Land Title Association and American congress. It is a survey that is approved by all and determined easements, ownership and more for the land in question.

ALTA survey is often referred as due diligence survey where the land boundary of a commercial property has to be determined for sale or ownership transfer. The survey has to abide by the zoning law of the area, and there are certain unique methods followed in the survey. There are not many companies in America that are authorized to conduct an ALTA survey of a commercial or government land but those who are authorized provided an excellent service to the client. It is crucial to make sure that the norms are followed properly in the survey, and the company is a certified and efficient one, in this regard.
