Chicago is the economic engine of the Midwest, with one of the largest commercial real estate markets in the country spanning office towers, industrial districts, retail and large-scale redevelopment. Institutional acquisitions, financings and developments across the city routinely require an ALTA/NSPS Land Title Survey as a cornerstone of due diligence. In a city with layered easements, vaulted sidewalks and complex rights-of-way, that certified survey is indispensable.
An ALTA/NSPS land title survey is the most detailed boundary survey, prepared to the national standards set by the American Land Title Association and the National Society of Professional Surveyors. It maps boundaries, improvements, easements, encroachments and the Table A items your lender or title company requests, and is certified to every party in the transaction.

Chicago is a city of roughly 2.7 million and is not organized into townships, occupying the eastern edge of Cook County along Lake Michigan. Its commercial real estate market is vast and varied, from the Loop’s high-rises to industrial corridors and neighborhood retail, generating constant transactional and lending activity. Plats and recorded easements affecting Chicago parcels are filed with the Cook County Clerk’s Recordings Division. Because urban parcels here so often involve air rights, vaulted spaces, party walls and dense easement layers, an ALTA/NSPS survey is essential for lenders, title companies and developers evaluating a property.
Official resources for Chicago property owners
Chicago parcels frequently involve complex conditions such as easements, encroachments, vaulted sidewalks, party walls and rights-of-way, and an ALTA/NSPS survey certifies all of these to the buyer, lender and title company, which is critical in a dense urban market.
A residential plat of survey confirms a single lot for an owner or closing. An ALTA/NSPS survey follows a national standard, adds title-related easement and encroachment detail, offers optional Table A items, and is certified to the lender and title insurer for commercial transactions.
The lender, the title insurance company and often the buyer or its attorney require the ALTA/NSPS survey, because each party needs an independently certified depiction of the property before funding, insuring or closing the deal.
