What is an ALTA Survey?

An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is a comprehensive survey that meets specific standards set by the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. It is typically required for Utah commercial real estate transactions, refinancing, and development projects—as well as high-end residential acquisitions—to remove survey exceptions from the title policy.
