ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys

Sands Surveying Corporation provides ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys throughout North-Central Texas — including Rockwall, Collin, Hunt, Kaufman, and Dallas counties. Required by lenders and title companies for commercial real estate transactions, our licensed surveyors deliver surveys that meet the full 2021 ALTA/NSPS Minimum Standard Detail Requirements.

What is an ALTA/NSPS Survey?

An ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is the most comprehensive survey standard in the United States, jointly developed by the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. It is the gold standard for commercial real estate transactions and is required whenever a lender or title company needs a thorough understanding of a property’s boundaries, improvements, easements, and encumbrances.

Unlike a standard boundary survey, an ALTA/NSPS survey addresses all items in the 2021 Table A — including utilities, parking, zoning, flood zone classification, and more — providing lenders, buyers, and title insurers with a complete picture of the property and any conditions that could affect its value or use.

Who Needs an ALTA/NSPS Survey?

🏦 Lenders & Financial Institutions

Most commercial mortgage lenders require an ALTA/NSPS survey before funding a loan. It gives the lender confidence that the collateral property is free of boundary issues, encroachments, or easements that could affect its value or marketability.

🏢 Commercial Buyers & Investors

Anyone acquiring commercial, industrial, or multi-family property needs an ALTA/NSPS survey to understand what they are buying — including any easements, encroachments, setback violations, or access issues that could impact the investment.

📋 Title Companies & Attorneys

Title companies require an ALTA/NSPS survey to issue an extended coverage title insurance policy on commercial properties. Real estate attorneys rely on it to identify any title issues before closing that could expose their clients to risk.

🏗️ Developers & Architects

Before designing or developing a commercial site, an ALTA/NSPS survey provides the precise boundary, easement, and utility data needed to plan the project correctly and avoid costly redesigns or permit delays.
