The new standards will become effective February 23, 2021, and will supersede the existing standards introduced in 2016. A survey performed in accordance with these standards is typically referred to as an “ALTA Survey.” In addition to some clarifying revisions and revisions related to measurement accuracy, the theme of the new revisions is to narrow the focus of the survey to matters that are truly survey related and to provide greater clarity about the surveyor’s role in performing various tasks in connection with the survey.
