ALTA Practice Exam – Complete Prep Resource

The minimum size for a plat or map of an ALTA NSPS Land Title Survey must be drawn on 8 1/2 by 11 inches. This standard size is practical and widely used, making it easier for stakeholders to handle, store, and reproduce the survey documents. The use of this size ensures that the survey is consistent with common documentation practices, facilitating review and compliance with regulations.

In considering the other sizes listed, they exceed the minimum requirement established by the ALTA NSPS standards, which dictates the smallest size acceptable for clarity and usability. Therefore, while larger dimensions provide more space for detail, the established standard underscores the importance of efficiency and accessibility in land title surveys.
