National firms carry multi-state licensing and are usually the right call for portfolio deals spanning several states.
How to Choose a ALTA Survey Provider in Kansas
- Kansas licensure. The survey must be sealed by a surveyor licensed in Kansas. Verify the licence, not just the firm's footprint.
- Table A experience. Which optional items your lender requires drives both cost and schedule — see the Table A configurator.
- Field crew availability. National firms sometimes subcontract Kansas fieldwork. Ask whether the crew is in-house.
- Title company coordination. The surveyor needs the title commitment early; firms that chase it themselves save a week.
- Record of survey requirements. Some states require a recorded survey, which adds cost and time. Confirm what applies in Kansas.

Kansas ALTA Survey Cost by Parcel Size
After property type, acreage is the largest driver of an ALTA survey quote — more boundary to walk, more corners to set, more field days. Applied to Kansas pricing:
| Parcel size | Multiplier | Kansas cost |
|---|---|---|
| 0-1 acres | 1× | $3,000 – $8,000 |
| 1-5 acres | 1.2× | $3,600 – $9,600 |
| 5-10 acres | 1.5× | $4,500 – $12,000 |
| 10-25 acres | 2× | $6,000 – $16,000 |
| 25-50 acres | 2.5× | $7,500 – $20,000 |
| 50+ acres | 3× | $9,000 – $24,000 |
Turnaround and Rush Pricing in Kansas
Standard turnaround is about 14 days from engagement in Kansas. Rush service compresses that to roughly 5 days and prices at $4,500–$12,000 — a 50% premium. The binding constraint is usually the title commitment and field crew scheduling, so getting the title work moving early buys more time than paying a rush premium.
Ask any Kansas provider what their quoted turnaround actually starts from — engagement, retainer receipt, or receipt of the title commitment. That definition is where most schedule disputes come from.
Lender Survey Requirements
Which lender is financing the Kansas deal determines both the Table A items your surveyor must include and how recently the survey must be dated. A survey that ages out has to be re-certified or re-run:
| Lender | Table A items | Survey age limit |
|---|---|---|
| Fannie Mae Multifamily | 14 | 360 days before recording |
| Freddie Mac Multifamily | 14 | 90 days before Note date |
| SBA 7(a) Loan | 14 | Per title company requirements |
| SBA 504 Loan | 14 | Per title company requirements |
| HUD/FHA Multifamily | 19 | 90 days for new surveys |
| CMBS (Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities) | 15 | Typically 180 days |
| Conventional Commercial | 11 | Varies by lender |
Confirm the requirement set before you commission the survey — adding a Table A item after fieldwork usually means a second site visit. The Table A configurator builds the exact item list for your lender.
