What a Title Survey Is — and What It Shows
A title survey is a land survey prepared for a real estate transaction. It locates the property's boundary lines and corners, shows the buildings and other improvements on the lot, and plots the recorded easements and setback lines that affect the property — so everyone involved in the transaction can see how the paperwork matches what's on the ground.
You'll also hear it called a mortgage survey, real estate survey, or closing survey.
Title surveys are commonly requested by title companies and lenders when a property is bought, sold, or refinanced. Alliance prepares them for homes, lots, rural tracts, and commercial properties throughout San Antonio and the surrounding counties.
A title survey from Alliance shows:
Boundary lines and corners — dimensions and bearings tied to the recorded plat or deed, with monuments found or set.
Improvements — the house, garage, driveway, fences, pools, sheds, and other structures, located relative to the property lines.
Recorded easements — utility, drainage, and access easements, plotted where they fall on the property.
Building setback lines — as shown on the recorded subdivision plat.
Visible encroachments — improvements crossing a property line or located within an easement.
RPLS seal — signed and sealed by one of our Registered Professional Land Surveyors.

Title Survey Cost in San Antonio
Most residential title surveys on platted subdivision lots fall at the low end. Lot size, missing corners, unplatted boundaries, dense vegetation, and the amount of records research involved push the price up.
| Property Type | Typical Price | What Drives the Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Residential subdivision lot | From $400 + tax | Recorded plat, recoverable corners, standard easements |
| Larger or irregular residential lot | Quoted | Lot size, odd geometry, older plats, multiple easements |
| Rural acreage | Quoted | Metes-and-bounds descriptions, brush, terrain — see acreage surveys |
| Commercial property | Quoted | Site size and scope — some transactions call for an ALTA/NSPS survey |
Title Survey vs. Boundary vs. ALTA
| Survey | Typically Used For | Key Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Title Survey | Residential and smaller commercial purchases and refinances | Prepared for a specific transaction; shows the recorded easements associated with it |
| Boundary Survey | Fences, construction planning, questions with a neighbor | Establishes lines and corners for an owner's own purposes |
| ALTA/NSPS Survey | Larger commercial transactions | National standard with optional Table A items; broader scope |
