All Rights Reserved. american Land Title Association And National Society Of Professional Surveyors page 10 Of 10 minimum Standard Detail Requirements For Alta/nsps Land Title Surveys (effective February 23, 2021) purpose - Members Of The American Land Title Associationâ® (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. A Complete 2021 Alta/nsps Land Title Survey Includes: the On-site Fieldwork Required Pursuant To Section 5, the Preparation Of A Plat Or Map Pursuant To Section 6 Showing The Results Of The Fieldwork And Its Relationship To Documents Provided To Or Obtained By The Surveyor Pursuant To Section 4, any Information From Table A Items Requested By The Client, And the Certification Outlined In Section 7. request For Survey - The Client Shall Request The Survey, Or Arrange For The Survey To Be Requested, And Shall Provide A Written Authorization To Proceed From The Person Or Entity Responsible For Paying For The Survey. Unless Specifically Authorized In Writing By The Insurer, The Insurer Shall Not Be Responsible For Any Costs Associated With The Preparation Of The Survey. The Request Must Specify That An "alta/nsps Land Title Survey" Is Required And Which Of The Optional Items Listed In Table A, If Any, Are To Be Incorporated. Certain Properties Or Interests In Real Properties May Present Issues Outside Those Normally Encountered On An Alta/nsps Land Title Survey (e.g., Marinas, Campgrounds, Mobile Home Parks, Easements, Leases, Mineral Interests, Other Non-fee Simple Interests). The Scope Of Work Related To Surveys Of Such Properties Or Interests In Real Properties Should Be Discussed With The Client, Lender, And Insurer, And Agreed Upon In Writing Prior To Commencing Work On The Survey. When Required, The Client Shall Secure Permission For The Surveyor To Enter Upon The Property To Be Surveyed, Adjoining Properties, Or Offsite Easements. surveying Standards And Standards Of Care effective Date - The 2021 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements For Alta/nsps Land Title Surveys Are Effective February 23, 2021. As Of That Date, All Previous Versions Of The Minimum Standard Detail Requirements For Alta/acsm Or Alta/nsps Land Title Surveys Are Superseded By These Standards. other Requirements And Standards Of Practice - Many States And Some Local Jurisdictions Have Adopted Statutes, Administrative Rules, And/or Ordinances That Set Out Standards Regulating The Practice Of Surveying Within Their Jurisdictions. In Addition To The Standards Set Forth Herein, Surveyors Must Also Conduct Their Surveys In Accordance With Applicable Jurisdictional Survey Requirements And Standards Of Practice. Where Conflicts Between The Standards Set Forth Herein and Any Such Jurisdictional Requirements And Standards Of Practice Occur, The More Stringent Must Apply. the Normal Standard Of Care - Surveyors Should Recognize That There May Be Unwritten Local, State, And/or Regional Standards Of Care Defined By The Practice Of The Prudent Surveyor In Those Locales. boundary - The Boundary Lines And Corners Of Any Property Or Interest In Real Property Being Surveyed (hereafter, The Surveyed Property Or Property To Be Surveyed ) As Part Of An Alta/nsps Land Title Survey Must Be Established And/or Retraced In Accordance With Appropriate Boundary Law Principles Governed By The Set Of Facts And Evidence Found In The Course Of Performing The Research And Fieldwork. measurement Standards - The Following Measurement Standards Address Relative Positional Precision For The Monuments Or Witnesses Marking The Corners Of The Surveyed Property. Relative Positional Precision Means The Length Of The Semi-major Axis, Expressed In Meters Or Feet, Of The Error Ellipse Representing The Uncertainty In The Position Of The Monument Or Witness Marking Any Boundary Corner Of The Surveyed Property Relative To The Position Of The Monument Or Witness Marking An Immediately Adjacent Boundary Corner Of The Surveyed Property Resulting From Random Errors In The Measurements Made In Determining Those Positions At The 95 Percent Confidence Level. Relative Positional Precision Can Be Estimated By The Results Of A Correctly Weighted Least Squares Adjustment Of The Survey. Alternatively, Relative Positional Precision Can Be Estimated By The Standard Deviation Of The Distance Between The Monument Or Witness Marking Any Boundary Corner Of The Surveyed Property And The Monument Or Witness Marking An Immediately Adjacent Boundary Corner Of The Surveyed Property (called Local Accuracy) That Can Be Computed Using The Full Covariance Matrix Of The Coordinate Inverse Between Any Given Pair Of Points, Understanding That Relative Positional Precision Is Based On The 95 Percent Confidence Level, Or Approximately 2 Standard Deviations. any Boundary Lines And Corners Established Or Retraced May Have Uncertainties In Location Resulting From (1) The Availability, Condition, History And Integrity Of Reference Or Controlling Monuments, (2) Ambiguities In The Record Descriptions Or Plats Of The Surveyed Property Or Its Adjoiners, (3) Occupation Or Possession Lines As They May Differ From The Written Title Lines, Or (4) Relative Positional Precision. Of These Four Sources Of Uncertainty, Only Relative Positional Precision Is Controllable, Although, Due To The Inherent Errors In Any Measurement, It Cannot Be Eliminated. The Magnitude Of The First Three Uncertainties Can Be Projected Based On Evidence; Relative Positional Precision Is Estimated Using Statistical Means (see Section 3.e.i. Above And Section 3.e.v. Below). the First Three Of These Sources Of Uncertainty Must Be Weighed As Part Of The Evidence In The Determination Of Where, In The Surveyor S Opinion, The Boundary Lines And Corners Of The Surveyed Property Should Be Located (see Section 3.d. Above). Relative Positional Precision Is A Measure Of How Precisely The Surveyor Is Able To Monument And Report Those Positions; It Is Not A Substitute For The Application Of Proper Boundary Law Principles. A Boundary Corner Or Line May Have A Small Relative Positional Precision Because The Survey Measurements Were Precise, Yet Still Be In The Wrong Position (i.e., Inaccurate) If It Was Established Or Retraced Using Faulty Or Improper Application Of Boundary Law Principles. for Any Measurement Technology Or Procedure Used On An Alta/nsps Land Title Survey, The Surveyor Must (1) Use Appropriately Trained Personnel, (2) Compensate For Systematic Errors, Including Those Associated With Instrument Calibration, And (3) Use Appropriate Error Propagation And Measurement Design Theory (selecting The Proper Instruments, Geometric Layouts, And Field And Computational Procedures) To Control Random Errors Such That The Maximum Allowable Relative Positional Precision Outlined In Section 3.e.v. Below Is Not Exceeded. the Maximum Allowable Relative Positional Precision For An Alta/nsps Land Title Survey Is 2 Cm (0.07 Feet) Plus 50 Parts Per Million (based On The Direct Distance Between The Two corners Being Tested). It Is Recognized That In Certain Circumstances, The Size Or Configuration Of The Surveyed Property, Or The Relief, Vegetation, Or Improvements On The Surveyed Property, Will Result In Survey Measurements For Which The Maximum Allowable Relative Positional Precision May Be Exceeded In Which Case The Reason Shall Be Noted Pursuant To Section 6.b.x. Below. records Research - It Is Recognized That For The Performance Of An Alta/nsps Land Title Survey, The Surveyor Will Be Provided With Appropriate And, When Possible, Legible Data That Can Be Relied Upon In The Preparation Of The Survey. In Order To Complete An Alta/nsps Land Title Survey, The Surveyor Must Be Provided With The Following: the Current Record Description Of The Real Property To Be Surveyed Or, In The Case Of An Original Survey Prepared For Purposes Of Locating And Describing Real Property That Has Not Been Previously Separately Described In Documents Conveying An Interest In The Real Property, The Current Record Description Of The Parent Parcel That Contains The Property To Be Surveyed; complete Copies Of The Most Recent Title Commitment Or, If A Title Commitment Is Not Available, Other Title Evidence Satisfactory To The Title Insurer; the Following Documents From Records Established Under State Statutes For The Purpose Of Imparting Constructive Notice Of Matters Relating To Real Property (public Records): the Current Record Descriptions Of Any Adjoiners To The Property To Be Surveyed, Except Where Such Adjoiners Are Lots In Platted, Recorded Subdivisions; any Recorded Easements Benefitting The Property To Be Surveyed; And any Recorded Easements, Servitudes, Or Covenants Burdening The Property To Be Surveyed; And if Desired By The Client, Any Unrecorded Documents Affecting The Property To Be Surveyed And Containing Information To Which The Survey Shall Make Reference. except, However, If The Documents Outlined In This Section Are Not Provided To The Surveyor Or If Non-public Or Quasi-public Documents Are Otherwise Required To Complete The Survey, The Surveyor Must Conduct That Research Which Is Required Pursuant To The Statutory Or Administrative Requirements Of The Jurisdiction Where The Surveyed Property Is Located And That Research (if Any) Which Is Negotiated And Outlined In The Terms Of The Contract Between The Surveyor And The Client. fieldwork - The Survey Must Be Performed On The Ground (except As May Be Otherwise Negotiated Pursuant To Table A, Item 15 Below).

Page 1 Of 10 american Land Title Association And national Society Of Professional Surveyors minimum Standard Detail Requirements For alta/nsps Land Title Surveys (effective February 23, 2021) 1. Purpose - 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. A complete 2021 Alta/nsps Land Title Survey Includes: (i) The On-site Fieldwork Required Pursuant To Section 5, (ii) The Preparation Of A Plat Or Map Pursuant To Section 6 Showing The Results Of The Fieldwork and Its Relationship To Documents Provided To Or Obtained By The Surveyor Pursuant To Section 4, (iii) Any Information From Table A Items Requested By The Client, And (iv) The Certification Outlined In Section 7. 2. Request For Survey - The Client Shall Request The Survey, Or Arrange For The Survey To Be requested, And Shall Provide A Written Authorization To Proceed From The Person Or Entity Responsible For paying For The Survey. Unless Specifically Authorized In Writing By The Insurer, The Insurer Shall Not Be responsible For Any Costs Associated With The Preparation Of The Survey. The Request Must Specify That An "alta/nsps Land Title Survey" Is Required And Which Of The Optional Items Listed In Table A, If Any, are To Be Incorporated. Certain Properties Or Interests In Real Properties May Present Issues Outside Those normally Encountered On An Alta/nsps Land Title Survey (e.g., Marinas, Campgrounds, Mobile Home parks, Easements, Leases, Mineral Interests, Other Non-fee Simple Interests). The Scope Of Work Related To surveys Of Such Properties Or Interests In Real Properties Should Be Discussed With The Client, Lender, And insurer, And Agreed Upon In Writing Prior To Commencing Work On The Survey. When Required, The Client shall Secure Permission For The Surveyor To Enter Upon The Property To Be Surveyed, Adjoining Properties, or Offsite Easements. 3. Surveying Standards And Standards Of Care a. Effective Date - The 2021 Minimum Standard Detail Requirements For Alta/nsps Land Title surveys Are Effective February 23, 2021. As Of That Date, All Previous Versions Of The Minimum standard Detail Requirements For Alta/acsm Or Alta/nsps Land Title Surveys Are superseded By These Standards. b. Other Requirements And Standards Of Practice - Many States And Some Local Jurisdictions have Adopted Statutes, Administrative Rules, And/or Ordinances That Set Out Standards Regulating the Practice Of Surveying Within Their Jurisdictions. In Addition To The Standards Set Forth Herein, surveyors Must Also Conduct Their Surveys In Accordance With Applicable Jurisdictional Survey requirements And Standards Of Practice. Where Conflicts Between The Standards Set Forth Herein american Land Title Association⮠(alta) Minimum Standard Detail Requirements national Society Of Professional Surveyors (nsps) For Alta/nsps Land Title Surveys copyright 2021. All Rights Reserved. Page 2 Of 10 american Land Title Association And national Society Of Professional Surveyors and Any Such Jurisdictional Requirements And Standards Of Practice Occur, The More Stringent Must apply. c. The Normal Standard Of Care - Surveyors Should Recognize That There May Be Unwritten Local, state, And/or Regional Standards Of Care Defined By The Practice Of The Prudent Surveyor In Those locales. d. Boundary - The Boundary Lines And Corners Of Any Property Or Interest In Real Property Being surveyed (hereafter, The Surveyed Property Or Property To Be Surveyed ) As Part Of An alta/nsps Land Title Survey Must Be Established And/or Retraced In Accordance With appropriate Boundary Law Principles Governed By The Set Of Facts And Evidence Found In The course Of Performing The Research And Fieldwork. e. Measurement Standards - The Following Measurement Standards Address Relative Positional precision For The Monuments Or Witnesses Marking The Corners Of The Surveyed Property. i. Relative Positional Precision Means The Length Of The Semi-major Axis, Expressed In Meters or Feet, Of The Error Ellipse Representing The Uncertainty In The Position Of The Monument Or witness Marking Any Boundary Corner Of The Surveyed Property Relative To The Position Of The monument Or Witness Marking An Immediately Adjacent Boundary Corner Of The Surveyed property Resulting From Random Errors In The Measurements Made In Determining Those positions At The 95 Percent Confidence Level. Relative Positional Precision Can Be Estimated by The Results Of A Correctly Weighted Least Squares Adjustment Of The Survey. Alternatively, relative Positional Precision Can Be Estimated By The Standard Deviation Of The Distance between The Monument Or Witness Marking Any Boundary Corner Of The Surveyed Property and The Monument Or Witness Marking An Immediately Adjacent Boundary Corner Of The surveyed Property (called Local Accuracy) That Can Be Computed Using The Full Covariance matrix Of The Coordinate Inverse Between Any Given Pair Of Points, Understanding That Relative positional Precision Is Based On The 95 Percent Confidence Level, Or Approximately 2 Standard deviations. ii. Any Boundary Lines And Corners Established Or Retraced May Have Uncertainties In Location resulting From (1) The Availability, Condition, History And Integrity Of Reference Or Controlling monuments, (2) Ambiguities In The Record Descriptions Or Plats Of The Surveyed Property Or Its adjoiners, (3) Occupation Or Possession Lines As They May Differ From The Written Title Lines, Or (4) Relative Positional Precision. Of These Four Sources Of Uncertainty, Only Relative positional Precision Is Controllable, Although, Due To The Inherent Errors In Any Measurement, it Cannot Be Eliminated. The Magnitude Of The First Three Uncertainties Can Be Projected Based on Evidence; Relative Positional Precision Is Estimated Using Statistical Means (see Section 3.e.i. Above And Section 3.e.v. Below). iii. The First Three Of These Sources Of Uncertainty Must Be Weighed As Part Of The Evidence In The determination Of Where, In The Surveyor S Opinion, The Boundary Lines And Corners Of The surveyed Property Should Be Located (see Section 3.d. Above). Relative Positional Precision is A Measure Of How Precisely The Surveyor Is Able To Monument And Report Those Positions; It is Not A Substitute For The Application Of Proper Boundary Law Principles. A Boundary Corner Or line May Have A Small Relative Positional Precision Because The Survey Measurements Were precise, Yet Still Be In The Wrong Position (i.e., Inaccurate) If It Was Established Or Retraced using Faulty Or Improper Application Of Boundary Law Principles. iv. For Any Measurement Technology Or Procedure Used On An Alta/nsps Land Title Survey, the Surveyor Must (1) Use Appropriately Trained Personnel, (2) Compensate For Systematic errors, Including Those Associated With Instrument Calibration, And (3) Use Appropriate Error propagation And Measurement Design Theory (selecting The Proper Instruments, Geometric layouts, And Field And Computational Procedures) To Control Random Errors Such That The maximum Allowable Relative Positional Precision Outlined In Section 3.e.v. Below Is Not exceeded. v. The Maximum Allowable Relative Positional Precision For An Alta/nsps Land Title Survey Is 2 Cm (0.07 Feet) Plus 50 Parts Per Million (based On The Direct Distance Between The Two american Land Title Association⮠(alta) Minimum Standard Detail Requirements national Society Of Professional Surveyors (nsps) For Alta/nsps Land Title Surveys copyright 2021.

It Is Recognized That In Certain Circumstances, The Size Or Configuration of The Surveyed Property, Or The Relief, Vegetation, Or Improvements On The Surveyed Property, will Result In Survey Measurements For Which The Maximum Allowable Relative Positional precision May Be Exceeded In Which Case The Reason Shall Be Noted Pursuant To Section 6.b.x. Below. 4. Records Research - It Is Recognized That For The Performance Of An Alta/nsps Land Title survey, The Surveyor Will Be Provided With Appropriate And, When Possible, Legible Data That Can be Relied Upon In The Preparation Of The Survey. In Order To Complete An Alta/nsps Land Title survey, The Surveyor Must Be Provided With The Following: a.
