ALTA/NSPS Surveys

 

JKC Engineering performs ALTA/NSPS Surveys for a variety of clients to meet requirements related to land transactions. These surveys delineate property lines and improvements on and adjacent to a subject property, such as fences, buildings, points/routes of access, lines of possession, easements benefiting or burdening the property, and other matters as agreed upon by the surveyor and client.

 

From the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys:

 

"Members of the American Land Title Association® (ALTA®) have specific needs, unique to title insurance matters, when asked to insure title to land without exception as to the many matters which might be discoverable from survey and inspection, and which are not evidenced by the public records. 

 

For a survey of real property, and the plat, map or record of such survey, to be acceptable to a title insurance company for the purpose of insuring title to said real property free and clear of survey matters (except those matters disclosed by the survey and indicated on the plat or map), certain specific and pertinent information must be presented for the distinct and clear understanding between the insured, the client (if different from the insured), the title insurance company (insurer), the lender, and the surveyor professionally responsible for the survey.

 

In order to meet such needs, clients, insurers, insureds, and lenders are entitled to rely on surveyors to conduct surveys and prepare associated plats or maps that are of a professional quality and appropriately uniform, complete, and accurate. To that end, and in the interests of the general public, the surveying profession, title insurers, and abstracters, the ALTA and the NSPS jointly promulgate the within details and criteria setting forth a minimum standard of performance for ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys."
