The National Society of Professional Surveyors' committee responsible for the ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey Standards is currently working with the American Land Title Association on a new version of the standards.
The ALTA/ACSM standards were first adopted in 1962 and have been through six sets of revisions since; the latest (and most current version) being in 2005. It is anticipated that the next version will become effective in about a year (target date January 1, 2011).
The 2011 standards will be substantially reorganized and rewritten so they flow more logically, so terminology is standardized, and to reflect a number of excellent suggestions that will help make it a better standard both for NSPS and ALTA and for all users.
If you are interested in reviewing the latest draft of the new standards, contact Gary Kent (chair of both the NSPS/ACSM Committee and the ALTA Committee) at gkent@schneidercorp.com.
