ALTA Survey
Topographic Survey
Boundary Survey
An ALTA survey is a boundary survey prepared to a set of minimum standards that have been jointly prepared and adopted by the ALTA/ACSM. Additionally, an ALTA survey shows improvements, easements, rights-of-way, and other elements impacting the ownership of land. An ALTA Survey is often prepared for commercial properties, as it will provide the title company with the information required to insure the title to the land and improvements to the high degree that a commercial development may require.
A current title commitment is required before an ALTA Survey can be completed. The surveyor will refer to the title commitment for the legal description of the property and for the legal description of any encumbrances (exceptions). Areas of ownership, improvements, and encumbrances will be shown graphically. If the survey discovers any encroachments, they should be shown graphically, and a note indicating the nature of the encroachment may also be added

Boundary Survey
A boundary survey is the process of finding, identifying, measuring, and reporting the location of the boundary lines of a tract of land as described in a deed of conveyance. A boundary survey will also indicate the extent of known easements revealed in a deed of conveyance or a title abstract. But more importantly, the boundary survey may also reveal physical matters affecting the use and enjoyment of the property that may not be disclosed otherwise, be it a roadway crossing the property and used by others, a visible utility line crossing the property, or encroachments across the boundaries by fences or other improvements.
A boundary survey is recommended any time a significant investment is made in property, whether it be the initial purchase of the land, or the addition or altercation of improvements thereon. Unfortunately, many people assume that a survey is a required and included in their real estate transaction. However, in order to keep closing costs to a minimum, most agents involved in the transaction, will not recommend a survey. After the closing and a problem or dispute arises, it is not uncommon to find that the previous owners, their neighbors, or their selling agents have an uninformed, and often, wrong perception of where the bounds a parcel of land are located. A boundary survey prior to the closing can potentially save thousands of dollars that may be spent resolving issues that would have been revealed during the course of a boundary survey, on top of the hours of added stress and heart ache
Topographic Survey

Topographic Survey
A topographic survey depicts the elevation of all points and features of a property, both natural and man-made. The elevation data is reported in the form of contours and/or spot elevations. The survey also includes the location and invert elevations of storm water and sanitary sewer structures on site or nearby. A topographic survey is most often required for the use by design professionals in their preparation of architectural and engineering plans for commercial or industrial developments. Occasionally, a topographic survey is requested for the design of improvements of a single residential lot when the home owner is motivated to maximize his investment.
Gutierrez Land Surveying and Mapping provides topographic surveys that include all the pertinent information needed by your design professional. This results in fewer questions left unanswered as to existing conditions, allowing more time to be focused on the actual design of future improvements.

Elevation Certificate
A FEMA Elevation Certificate is an important tool that documents your building’s elevation and compares it to the flood elevation in your area. It identifies the flood risk in your property according to FEMA flood studies and the elevation determined by the surveyor. If you live in a high-risk flood zone, you should provide an Elevation Certificate to your insurance agent to obtain flood insurance and ensure that your premium accurately reflects your risk. Obtaining an Elevation Certificate also can help you make decisions about rebuilding and mitigation after a disaster.
