For your property transaction
An ALTA/NSPS land title survey brings boundary research, title documents, and field observations into a survey plat or map for your transaction team. The scope includes the applicable standards and the optional Table A items you agree with the surveyor.
Scope, cost & timing questionsFor a mountain property, site planning can depend on elevation changes and existing features as well as parcel lines. Discuss the proposed work before choosing the survey scope.
Parcels within the Town of Truckee zoning map
Truckee publishes a 2025 zoning map and explains that overlay districts can add requirements to primary zoning, including historic-preservation or snow-avalanche areas. Check the actual parcel and overlays. A Truckee address alone doesn't establish TRPA jurisdiction or Tahoe land-coverage requirements.

Truckee's published Development Code is marked as amended July 23, 2026, with separate articles for site planning, development permits and subdivisions. Use the current town guidance when discussing proposed improvements; the transaction's ALTA/NSPS requirements and the planning review serve different purposes.

From the first title review to the last stake in the ground, we help your team understand the site and move the project forward.
Bring the property, title records, and field conditions into one clear survey for your transaction team.
We scope the survey around the current ALTA/NSPS standards, the property interest being surveyed, and the Table A items agreed with your lender and title team.Understand where the parcel begins, where it ends, and how the evidence fits together.
Boundary research, monument recovery, and field measurements support a documented picture of the property rather than an assumption based on a fence or online map.Give your design team a measured starting point for the ground and its existing features.
Define the contours, structures, surface improvements, and asset information your project needs, with AutoCAD, GIS, or PDF deliverables agreed during scoping.Carry the design into the field with coordinated survey control and layout.
Discuss the plans, control, construction sequence, and staking requirements before mobilization so the field work supports the actual stage of your project.See how recorded rights and measured site features relate to the property.
ESE provides easement surveying and TRPA land coverage verification services. These scopes are discussed separately from title-survey requirements and agency review.Capture a broader view of the site to support mapping and terrain documentation.
UAV mapping can support site and terrain documentation. The team selects methods around the accuracy, access, and deliverable requirements of the scope.Your property, transaction, and next steps shape the work. We start by defining what your team needs from the survey.
Share the address or APN, transaction purpose, available documents, and target date. We’ll discuss the scope with you.
We review title information and coordinate selected Table A items with your transaction team. Topographic, utility, or coverage work can be scoped alongside the title survey.
Research and field measurements come together in a survey your team can use. AutoCAD, GIS, and PDF deliverables are available as the project requires.
Send what you have. We’ll help identify what’s still needed.
JON LODER / PLSSurvey leadership
Jon Loder, PLS Survey Manager
Jon leads ESE's surveying program, bringing more than 40 years of experience to boundary research, field measurement, and the survey information your project team needs.
Understanding the scope helps everyone start on the same page.
The fee depends on the property and the agreed scope: parcel count and size, the title records, site access, field conditions, and selected Table A items. Send the address or parcel number and the requirements you have so we can discuss a project-specific quote.
We confirm the schedule after reviewing the scope, available title information, field access, and current workload. Share your closing or design deadline when you inquire. Record research, weather, and coordination with your title or lender team can affect timing.
It depends on the proposed work and your designer's requirements. If grades, access, drainage, or existing improvements influence the design, discuss those needs when we define the survey scope.
Don't assume requirements from the mailing address. Confirm the parcel's location and applicable jurisdiction before scoping agency-specific work, including any Tahoe land coverage services.
Access, visibility, and site conditions can influence fieldwork. Tell us about known constraints and your project timing so we can discuss a practical survey plan.
The 2026 ALTA/NSPS Minimum Standard Detail Requirements took effect on February 23, 2026, replacing the 2021 edition. We'll discuss the current requirements and the optional Table A items your transaction team requests when defining your scope.
