Detailed Surveys for Commercial Real Estate Transactions

ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey Services

ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys provide comprehensive, nationally standardized documentation of a property’s boundaries, improvements, access, and conditions. Buchanan & Harper offers professional ALTA/NSPS surveys throughout Bay, Walton, Washington, and Holmes Counties, with our team based in Panama City, Florida.

These surveys are most commonly required for commercial real estate transactions, lender financing, title insurance, and legal due diligence, where accuracy and compliance are critical.

What Is an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey?

An ALTA/NSPS survey is a detailed land parcel survey prepared in accordance with standards jointly established by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS).

While similar to a boundary survey, an ALTA/NSPS survey goes significantly further by documenting:

  • Property boundaries and acreage
  • All existing improvements and structures
  • Easements, rights-of-way, and access
  • Visible utilities and site features
  • Adjoining streets and access points
  • Significant observations that may affect ownership or use

These surveys are typically required in connection with new legal title commitments, refinancing, or property acquisition.

When Is an ALTA/NSPS Survey Required?

ALTA/NSPS surveys are most often requested for:

  • Commercial property purchases or sales

  • Lender-financed real estate transactions

  • Title insurance underwriting

  • Development and redevelopment projects

  • Legal and transactional due diligence

Because lenders and title companies rely heavily on these surveys, they must meet strict national standards and be completed by experienced, licensed surveyors.
