What are ALTA Surveys?
The American Land and Title Association (ALTA) and National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) set Land Title Survey Standards. These surveys are very detailed and cover numerous areas such as legal property description, land improvements, localities, property boundaries, and enrochments. While GLE will perform ALTA Surveys for any client, commercial or industrial businesses request them the most. Insurers, lenders, and clients all rely on ALTA Survey information when an industrial or commercial property is transferred.
Types of Land Surveying Certificates
Elevation Certificates should be requested when you live in an area where risk of flooding is high; sometimes, they are required in areas extremely prone to flooding. These certificates document the location, lowest point of elevation, and other characteristics. The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) uses Elevation Certificates to determine flood insurance policy details and pricing.
When cities, towns, municipalities, INDOT, or the state are purchasing land from current landowners to improve upon or build new roads, they will need a Right-Of-Way Certificate. Right-Of-Way Certificates are detailed legal documents describing the land that the client wishes to purchase from current landowners. To acquire a Right-Of-Way Certificate, contact the professionals at Great Lakes Engineering.
