Revisions to the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys go into effect. Feb. 23, 2021.

Every five years, ALTA and the National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) review the standards. ALTA’s Board of Governors approved the changes in October 2020. The NSPS Board also approved the revisions.

The changes primarily focus on modifications making the standard easier to understand. There are also updates to resolve inconsistent, confusing or conflicting language in and across the different sections. In a few instances, the refinements address unintended liability placed on surveyors while assuring that lender and title needs are still adequately met.
