ALTA Table A Items by Property Type

Underground storage tanks, petroleum products

• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400
• Item 11b Underground Utilities (Private Locate) $800 to $2,500

Underground storage tanks require utility location for environmental assessment

Phase 1 ESA cost for gas station · Build this list in the configurator

Chlorinated solvents, always requires Phase II ESA

• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400
• Item 11b Underground Utilities (Private Locate) $800 to $2,500
• Item 16 Evidence of Recent Work already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 21 Additional Items (Write-In) varies with scope

Solvent releases travel through floor drains and the sanitary lateral, so the below-grade run has to be located before a Phase 2 can be scoped. Recent earth moving usually means a line or a dry well was already dug up. Floor drains and clarifiers are not a standard Table A item, so they belong in a written-in 21 request.

Phase 1 ESA cost for dry cleaner · Build this list in the configurator

Waste oil, solvents, hydraulic fluids

• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400
• Item 11b Underground Utilities (Private Locate) $800 to $2,500
• Item 16 Evidence of Recent Work already required by all 7 lenders

Hydraulic lifts, waste-oil tanks and oil/water separators all sit below the slab, and evidence of recent earth moving is the usual sign that one of them has already been pulled.

Phase 1 ESA cost for auto repair / body shop · Build this list in the configurator

Chemical runoff, possible underground storage tanks

• Item 8 Substantial Features already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400
• Item 11b Underground Utilities (Private Locate) $800 to $2,500

Reclaim tanks, sand traps and oil/water separators are below grade. Canopies, vacuum islands and wash bays are the substantial features that drive the setback and circulation review.

Phase 1 ESA cost for car wash · Build this list in the configurator

Chemicals, heavy metals, industrial processes

• Item 5 Vertical Relief $600 to $2,500
• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400
• Item 11b Underground Utilities (Private Locate) $800 to $2,500
• Item 18 Offsite Easements $200 to $600

Process utilities (industrial waste, gas, high-voltage service) run below grade and often arrive across neighbouring land, so the appurtenant easements matter as much as the on-site lines. Vertical relief supports stormwater and secondary-containment review.

Phase 1 ESA cost for manufacturing facility · Build this list in the configurator

Solvents, inks, chemical waste

• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400
• Item 11b Underground Utilities (Private Locate) $800 to $2,500
• Item 16 Evidence of Recent Work already required by all 7 lenders

Ink and solvent storage discharges to floor drains and the sanitary sewer, so the below-grade run is what the environmental scope depends on.

Phase 1 ESA cost for printing / graphics facility · Build this list in the configurator

Embalming chemicals, formaldehyde

• Item 9 Parking Spaces already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400
• Item 11b Underground Utilities (Private Locate) $800 to $2,500

Formaldehyde from preparation rooms discharges to the sanitary sewer through floor drains. Parking counts drive the zoning conformity question, because assembly use is rated on seats or floor area rather than on building count.

Phase 1 ESA cost for funeral home / mortuary · Build this list in the configurator

Fuel storage, vehicle maintenance

• Item 5 Vertical Relief $600 to $2,500
• Item 9 Parking Spaces already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400
• Item 14 Distance to Intersection $0 to $100

Fuel islands, waste-oil tanks and wash-bay separators sit below grade. Truck-court slope is a drainage question that only vertical relief answers, striped trailer stalls are the parking count a lender will test, and the distance to the nearest intersection governs turning access.

Phase 1 ESA cost for trucking terminal · Build this list in the configurator

Heavy metals, automotive fluids, PCBs

• Item 5 Vertical Relief $600 to $2,500
• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400
• Item 16 Evidence of Recent Work already required by all 7 lenders

Buried fill and debris are the defining condition of the site. Vertical relief documents how much fill is present and evidence of recent earth moving flags burial that is still active.

Phase 1 ESA cost for junkyard / salvage yard · Build this list in the configurator

Lead contamination from ammunition

• Item 5 Vertical Relief $600 to $2,500
• Item 8 Substantial Features already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 15 Imagery-Based Features $150 to $500

Berms and backstops are the lead-bearing features, and their geometry only shows up in vertical relief. Range fans and safety zones cover more ground than a field crew can economically walk, which is what item 15 imagery is for.

Phase 1 ESA cost for shooting range · Build this list in the configurator

Risk varies by historical use and current operations

• Item 5 Vertical Relief $600 to $2,500
• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400

• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400
• Item 11b Underground Utilities (Private Locate) $800 to $2,500
• Item 14 Distance to Intersection $0 to $100

Grease interceptors and the sanitary lateral are below grade. Parking counts and the distance to the nearest intersection are what drive both the zoning conformity check and any drive-through queuing review.

Phase 1 ESA cost for restaurant · Build this list in the configurator

Fuel docks, antifouling paints, bilge water

• Item 3 Flood Zone already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 5 Vertical Relief $600 to $2,500
• Item 8 Substantial Features already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 18 Offsite Easements $200 to $600

Almost every marina sits in a mapped flood zone, so the flood annotation is not optional here. Docks, piers and travel lifts extend past the upland boundary, which makes the submerged-land lease and riparian easements part of what is being financed. The standard singles marinas out in Section 3.B as a property whose scope should be agreed in writing with the client, lender and insurer before work starts.

Phase 1 ESA cost for marina / boat storage · Build this list in the configurator

Pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers

• Item 4 Gross Land Area already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 5 Vertical Relief $600 to $2,500
• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400
• Item 15 Imagery-Based Features $150 to $500

Gross land area is the valuation unit. Irrigation mains, wells and cart-path culverts are below grade, and imagery is the only economical way to depict fairway features across a hundred-plus acre parcel.

Phase 1 ESA cost for golf course · Build this list in the configurator

Fuel stations, septic systems

• Item 3 Flood Zone already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 4 Gross Land Area already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 9 Parking Spaces already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400

Pad count is the income unit, so pads have to be counted the way parking spaces are. Water, sewer and electric pedestals serve each pad below grade, and river frontage puts many parks in a mapped flood zone. Campgrounds and mobile home parks are named in that same Section 3.B sentence, so agree the scope in writing before the surveyor mobilises.

Phase 1 ESA cost for rv park / campground · Build this list in the configurator

Pesticides, herbicides, fuel storage

• Item 4 Gross Land Area already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 5 Vertical Relief $600 to $2,500
• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400
• Item 18 Offsite Easements $200 to $600

Acreage is the price unit. Irrigation wells, tile drainage and buried mainlines are the utilities that matter, and ditch and field-access rights are usually appurtenant easements over adjoining land rather than anything on the parcel itself.

Phase 1 ESA cost for agricultural / farm · Build this list in the configurator

Standard commercial property

• Item 7c Building Height $250 to $600
• Item 9 Parking Spaces already required by all 7 lenders

Building height for zoning compliance and parking requirements

Phase 1 ESA cost for office building · Build this list in the configurator

Standard commercial property

• Item 9 Parking Spaces already required by all 7 lenders

• Item 7b1 Building Square Footage $75 to $200
• Item 8 Substantial Features already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 9 Parking Spaces already required by all 7 lenders

Net rentable square footage is the income basis, so ground-level footprints and areas have to be measured rather than taken from the rent roll. Drive aisles, gates and canopies are the substantial features that decide fire-lane and setback conformity.

Phase 1 ESA cost for self storage · Build this list in the configurator

Minor medical waste, x-ray equipment

• Item 5 Vertical Relief $600 to $2,500
• Item 9 Parking Spaces already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400
• Item 11b Underground Utilities (Private Locate) $800 to $2,500

Medical gas, emergency generator feeds and imaging-suite service run below grade. Parking ratios for medical use are set higher than general office in most codes, which makes parking the most common nonconformity on this property type.

Phase 1 ESA cost for medical / dental office · Build this list in the configurator

Hotels, motels, resorts

• Item 7c Building Height $250 to $600
• Item 8 Substantial Features already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 9 Parking Spaces already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 14 Distance to Intersection $0 to $100

Height limits and parking ratios are where hotels most often fail a zoning check. Pools, porte-cocheres and pylon signage are substantial features, and the distance to the nearest intersection supports the access and signage review.

Phase 1 ESA cost for hotel / hospitality · Build this list in the configurator

Backup generators, cooling systems

• Item 5 Vertical Relief $600 to $2,500
• Item 11a Underground Utilities (Client Plans) $150 to $400
• Item 11b Underground Utilities (Private Locate) $800 to $2,500
• Item 18 Offsite Easements $200 to $600

The power feed, the fibre and the chilled-water line are the asset, and they almost always arrive through easements across adjoining land. Vertical relief supports the generator yard and stormwater design.

Phase 1 ESA cost for data center · Build this list in the configurator

Combined retail, office, residential

• Item 7b1 Building Square Footage $75 to $200
• Item 7c Building Height $250 to $600
• Item 9 Parking Spaces already required by all 7 lenders

Multiple use verification, height restrictions, and parking

Phase 1 ESA cost for mixed-use development · Build this list in the configurator

Risk depends on historical use

• Item 5 Vertical Relief $600 to $2,500
• Item 15 Imagery-Based Features $150 to $500

Topography for development planning

Phase 1 ESA cost for vacant land · Build this list in the configurator

Often older buildings, potential lead paint

• Item 7b1 Building Square Footage $75 to $200
• Item 8 Substantial Features already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 9 Parking Spaces already required by all 7 lenders

Assembly-use parking is calculated from seat count or floor area, so the parking count and the building square footage are needed together. Halls, canopies and memorial gardens are the substantial features that affect setback conformity.

Phase 1 ESA cost for church / religious facility · Build this list in the configurator

Lead paint concerns if pre-1978

• Item 5 Vertical Relief $600 to $2,500
• Item 8 Substantial Features already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 9 Parking Spaces already required by all 7 lenders
• Item 14 Distance to Intersection $0 to $100

Playgrounds, fencing, ball fields and bus loops are what a district or lender needs depicted. Drop-off queuing and parking drive site-plan conformity, and the distance to the nearest intersection supports the traffic review.

Phase 1 ESA cost for school / daycare · Build this list in the configurator

Healthcare-adjacent facility

• Item 5 Vertical Relief $600 to $2,500
• Item 7b1 Building Square Footage $75 to $200
• Item 7c Building Height $250 to $600
• Item 9 Parking Spaces already required by all 7 lenders

Licensed bed count ties to floor area, so building square footage is part of the licensing record. Parking ratios and height limits are the usual entitlement constraints, and vertical relief supports accessible-route grading.

Phase 1 ESA cost for assisted living / senior housing · Build this list in the configurator
