American Land Title Association (ALTA) surveys are ordered by banks, lending institutions, or title companies. Their main purpose is to ensure that the title to a property is clear of any survey-related issues, except those disclosed by the survey itself and shown on a map. This verification helps in preventing future legal disputes and ensures the property's title is marketable.

The ALTA survey adheres to specific minimum standards, as defined in the "Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys" dated February 23, 2016. These standards set forth the guidelines for the survey's performance and the presentation of its results. They include detailed instructions that the land surveyor must follow to ensure accuracy and completeness in the survey.

Within the ALTA survey guidelines, there is a section known as Table A Optional Survey Responsibilities and Specifications. This section comprises 21 items that the client or the professional requesting the survey can choose to include. These optional items provide additional details and specifications, tailoring the survey to meet specific needs or requirements of the client.
