What a Land Surveyor Does
A licensed land surveyor produces the legal documentation of property boundaries, improvements, easements, encroachments, and topography. The ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey is the gold standard for commercial transactions — required by most commercial lenders and title insurers. Surveyors also produce topographic surveys for civil engineering and boundary surveys for smaller transactions.
Key Responsibilities
- Produce ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys
- Create topographic surveys for site design
- Identify easements, encroachments, and setbacks
- Verify legal descriptions and boundary lines
- Produce exhibit surveys for easements and documents
- Support construction staking and as-built surveys
