Title insurance endorsements modify or expand standard policy coverage for specific issues. In Nevada commercial transactions, lenders commonly require endorsements like: ALTA 3.1 (confirms zoning compliance), ALTA 9 (protects against CC&R violations), ALTA 22 (confirms improvements are on the insured parcel), and ALTA 17 (access). Residential buyers may obtain endorsements for manufactured homes, specific survey issues, or CC&R compliance. Endorsements typically cost additional premium.
