ALTA/ACSM - LAND TITLE SURVEYS
According to the Manual of Practice for Land
Surveying in the State of Texas (Category 1A,
Section 1, prepared by the Texas Society of Professional
Land Surveyors, 1999 revised ninth edition) a Land
Title Survey is defined as follows:
"A Land Title Survey is a
comprehensive investigation and evaluation of
significant factors affecting and influencing boundary
locations, ownership lines, rights of way and
easements within or immediately surrounding a certain
lot, parcel or quantity of real estate. This survey
locates, determines, or re-establishes on the ground
the perimeter, division lines, or boundaries and area
of the certain lot, parcel or quantity of real estate.
A Land Title Survey differs from a traditional
or standard property survey in that the Land Title
Survey is for title insuring purpose and therefore
must include greater detail not normally gathered in
the traditional or standard property survey. The
practice of locating land boundaries requires the
services of a Registered Professional Land Surveyor well versed in the science and art of boundary law and
the mechanics of measuring and computing values
pertaining to such surveys."
