A professional land surveyor who has a seal and license number is qualified to perform an ALTA land survey. While the survey must comply with state laws, an ALTA land survey must also adhere to the report standards established by ALTA. ALTA land surveys are commonly required by lenders and title insurers involved in the acquisition, development and refinancing of commercial properties.
ALTA land surveys are all performed to a very high standard, and since experience for individual surveyors varies quite a bit, it is important to determine the level of experience for your field surveyor. It is also advisable to hire an ALTA land surveyor who has knowledge of regional and local land use practices and can provide insight into potential risks associated with the acquisition or development of a site.
