Land and planning in Bogotá
Explore planning treatments, activity areas and development building ranges to identify published planning and land-use categories. Compare codes, acts and dates with land classification and Local Planning Units (UPL). The reference is the plan adopted through Decree 555 of 2021 and the acts identified in each record.
Activity areas describe land-use and mixing categories; they are not a list of authorized activities for each parcel. Treatments, activity areas and building ranges are dated copies of official downloads, not real-time SINUPOT queries. No layer certifies permits or development rights: consult official reports and applicable acts. Queries cover the visible area and are limited to 500 records and 2 MiB per response. Intersecting polygons retain their complete geometry; statistics describe loaded records. Service verification dates are not data dates.

Open Bogotá map →How to use the map
- Open the prepared query for this theme in the viewer. Locate an area using latitude, longitude coordinates or general place and address search.
- Review enabled layers and zoom to their query scale. Check each layer’s scope: it may query the visible area or the full municipal extent. An empty or unavailable service does not establish that no conditions apply.
- Select a feature on the map or in the Results list. Check its attributes, retrieval time and any partial-result notice.
- Choose a field and exact value to filter the layer. Export includes received results, with attribution and dates. Its coverage depends on the query scope and filters.
Local search and identifiers
Locate an area by coordinates or general address and place search; a match does not identify or certify a parcel. Enable layers, select a polygon and read its attributes. Parcel planning reports and official land-use queries are provided by SINUPOT.
Bogotá uses CHIP and BARMANPRE in cadastral sources. GeoSAT does not search parcels by these identifiers or convert them to Medellín’s CBML. Use the official Cadastre and Planning channels to locate and consult a parcel by its identifier.
