Land surveys are vital in real estate, and in Texas, ALTA Land Surveys are particularly significant due to their comprehensive nature and adherence to high standards.

What is an ALTA Land Survey?

An ALTA Land Survey is a thorough report that outlines property boundaries, easements, and other key physical details of a property. These surveys comply with strict guidelines from the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS), ensuring accuracy and reliability.

Why is an ALTA Survey Crucial in Texas?

  1. Real Estate Assurance: In Texas's dynamic real estate market, ALTA Surveys provide certainty and clarity, essential for transactions in growing cities like Houston and Dallas.
  2. Legal Clarity: Given Texas's complex history of land ownership, these surveys help resolve potential boundary disputes with their precise and detailed information.
  3. Development and Construction: For infrastructure and resource exploration, especially in oil-rich areas, the precision of ALTA Surveys is invaluable, ensuring legal compliance and accuracy.

Customization with ALTA Table A Items

ALTA Surveys can be tailored through Table A items, offering options for additional details like zoning and property improvements, essential for specific real estate needs in Texas.

The Importance of Professional ALTA Surveyors

Choosing experienced ALTA surveyors is crucial. Professionals familiar with Texas's landscape and ALTA standards ensure comprehensive and legally sound surveys.

What is an ALTA survey? -

An ALTA Survey is a comprehensive boundary survey that adheres to the standards established by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS). It provides detailed information about property boundaries, improvements, easements, rights-of-way, and other elements critical to ownership.

When is an ALTA survey required? +

An ALTA Survey is often required during real estate transactions involving commercial properties or large residential properties. It's useful in identifying potential issues such as encroachments, property line disputes, or restrictions that could affect the use or ownership of the property. This comprehensive survey can give buyers, lenders, and title companies confidence in the property's status.

What's the difference between an ALTA Survey and a regular boundary survey? +

While both ALTA and regular boundary surveys provide information about property boundaries, an ALTA Survey is more comprehensive. It adheres to a nationally recognized set of standards and includes additional details such as easements, rights-of-way, and improvements on the property. An ALTA Survey also identifies the legal rights associated with the property, which are crucial during real estate transactions.

How long does it take to complete an ALTA Survey? +

The timeframe for an ALTA Survey varies depending on the size and complexity of the property. At South Texas Surveying, we strive to complete our surveys as promptly as possible while ensuring accuracy and thoroughness. We understand the importance of timelines in real estate transactions and do our best to accommodate them.
