What is a Category 1A Land Title Survey?


A Category 1A Land Title Survey is a detailed land survey required by title companies to ensure comprehensive title insurance coverage. This type of survey offers a more in-depth examination compared to a standard land title survey. A Category 1A Land Title Survey identifies crucial factors influencing boundary locations, ownership lines, rights of way, and easements within or adjacent to a property. The level of detail required may vary depending on whether the property in question is commercial or residential.

FAQs

What factors can influence the cost of a Category 1A Land Title Survey? -

The cost of a Category 1A Land Title Survey depends on various factors, including property size, location, complexity, and the surveyor's expertise.

How long should I expect a Category 1A Land Title Survey to take for completion? +

The completion time for a Category 1A Land Title Survey can vary depending on factors such as property size, location, and the surveyor's workload, generally ranging from a few days to several weeks.

Can a Category 1A Land Title Survey help resolve property boundary disputes? +

Yes, a Category 1A Land Title Survey provides accurate boundary information, which can be crucial in resolving disputes between neighboring property owners.

What is the difference between a Category 1A land title survey and a regular land title survey? +

A Category 1A land title survey is a comprehensive type of land survey that follows specific standards set by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM). It provides more detailed information about a property's boundaries, improvements, and easements than a regular land title survey. A regular land title survey typically focuses on re-establishing a property's boundary lines and identifying any improvements or structures on the property but may not provide the same level of detail as a Category 1A survey.



How do the different Category 1A Land Title Survey Conditions apply to various property types?

There are four main Category 1A Land Title Survey Conditions, each applicable to different property types and locations. These conditions include urban, suburban, and rural settings, as well as special conditions for central business districts.

Category 1A Land Title Survey Condition II refers to Urban surveys, which are conducted within incorporated cities, excluding central business districts. This type of survey is essential for those looking to understand property boundaries and land use in urban settings.

What is a Category 1A Land Title Survey Condition III? +
