ALTA Survey in St. Louis, MO
ALTA Survey in St. Louis
Commercial deals inside the city often involve buildings that cover their entire lot, share walls with the next building, or rest on vaulted sidewalks and old alley vacations. Downtown towers, Washington Avenue lofts, Cortex research buildings and warehouses on the north riverfront each bring a different mix of easements and encroachments. An ALTA survey in St. Louis ties all of that to the title commitment so the buyer, lender and title insurer can see what they are closing on.
Older parcels may have been assembled from several city blocks or from vacated streets, and each piece can carry its own recorded documents. The surveyor checks those against what stands on the ground and reports anything that crosses a line. Send us the title commitment, any earlier survey and the Table A items your lender wants. We confirm the price and deadline, then schedule licensed surveyors on our team or in our network who handle city commercial work.

ALTA Survey questions in St. Louis
Should a vacated alley appear on an ALTA survey in St. Louis?
Yes, if it affects the parcel. Many city sites include former alleys or street segments vacated by ordinance, sometimes with utility rights kept in place. The surveyor shows the vacated area and any retained easements listed in the title commitment so the lender can see how the pieces fit.
What should I gather before ordering an ALTA survey in St. Louis?
The current title commitment with exception documents, the legal description, any prior survey or building plans and your lender's list of Table A items. For older buildings, copies of any recorded party wall or access agreements are also helpful.
