Types of Land Surveys Offered by EVstudio

EVstudio’s in-house surveying team provides a range of land survey types tailored to your project’s needs. Each survey follows Colorado law and professional best practices. Here’s a quick guide to help you understand the differences:

Improvement Location Certificate (ILC)

An ILC is essential in many real estate transactions.

It shows visible improvements like sidewalks and fences using boundary monumentation or lines of occupation.

Surveyors create a scaled drawing on legal-size paper with all discrepancies noted.

We use the plat and title policy to show recorded easements and encumbrances.

Surveyors certify the ILC to the buyer and title company under Colorado Revised Statute 38-51-108.

Clients receive three signed and stamped original copies.

Land Survey Plat (LSP)

An LSP, also known as a Boundary Survey, marks all parcel corners.

Surveyors recover or establish each corner, using monumentation and lines of occupation for accuracy.

We resolve boundary relationships within a +/- 0.1-foot tolerance.

The survey uses the current title policy, plat, and County Clerk records for easements and encumbrances.

We record the certified copy with the county and deliver three signed and stamped copies.

All procedures follow Colorado Revised Statute 38-51-106.

Improvement Survey Plat (ISP)

An ISP combines a Boundary Survey with detailed improvement data.

Surveyors show structures, utilities, and fences on or near the property.

We include encroachments, visible conflicts, and underground utilities found through official records.

All improvements meet the +/- 0.1-foot boundary tolerance.

We record a certified copy with the county and provide three signed and stamped originals.

This complies with Colorado Revised Statute 38-51-106.12.

ALTA Survey (American Land Title Association)

An ALTA survey meets the needs of title insurers for clean property records.

It includes all client-selected items from ALTA’s Table A.

We show detailed property conditions, easements, and legal boundaries.

Surveyors record the certified copy with the County Clerk and deliver signed originals.

We follow 2021 ALTA/NSPS standards for accuracy and completeness.
