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 Category 1A Land Title Survey Condition I typically refers to a survey in a densely developed, urban setting, specifically within the central business district.

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? +
Category 1A Land Title Survey Condition III focuses on Suburban surveys, applicable to land within a municipality located outside the urban territory or incorporated city.
