The 2026 update to the ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey standards introduced several refinements across the document. But when it comes to recent adjustments to Table A, the changes are focused, intentional, and centered on improving clarity. We at Apex Land Surveying and Mapping LLC have done our due diligence on these recent changes.

It cannot be understated just how important of a role an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey plays in both commercial and residential property development. These surveys follow nationally recognized standards developed by the American Land Title Association (ALTA) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS), helping lenders, title companies, attorneys, and property owners clearly understand the boundaries and physical conditions of a property.

When preparing for a boundary retracement survey, you might wonder what you can do to keep the process moving efficiently. Many want to help expedite the process, no matter if they booked a Land Survey Plat, Improvement Survey Plat, ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey, or another type of professional land survey.

If you are buying, selling, or developing property, deadlines can get tight. Along the way, you will need an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey. However, with shifting deadlines, many are often left asking “Can I get an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey right away?” The surprising answer is no.
