An ALTA survey involves strict guidelines and standards set by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the American Congress on Surveying & Mapping (ACSM). These organizations provide necessary rules as to how land surveying should be completed in order to give consistency to the surveys that lenders and other national companies review.
An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey must adhere to a set of national standards put forth by the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping and adopted by the American Land Title Association.

- Easements benefiting or encumbering a property.
