We at Meridian Geomatics LLC have been providing land survey services for many years, and we are here to help you get the data you need to effectively manage your land and prepare it for construction. One of the many types of surveys we can provide is ALTA/ACSM land title surveys, and in this article, we will provide a basic overview of what these surveys are and what they do.
- ALTA /ACSM – We’ll begin by defining the terms ALTA and ACSM. ALTA stands for American Land Title Association, and ACSM stands for the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping. The purpose of these organizations is to keep track of land ownership and the boundaries between different real estate properties.
- ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys – To put it simply, an ALTA/ACSM survey is used to make sure you own the land you claim to own, and to establish exactly where the boundary of your property lies. Our team will research past property records for information on where the boundary line has been drawn in the past, as historical precedent plays a large role in defining present-day boundaries. We will also survey your land, searching for original boundary markers and reference corners to get a better sense of where the line has been drawn in the real world. We’ll then assemble this data and use it to draw or redraw the appropriate boundary lines, giving you a clear understanding of where your property ends and your neighbor’s begins. If you need at ALTA/ACSM land title survey, just give us a call to get our experts on the job.
