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). Separately open the SINU queries for net residential sectors, sectors incompatible with residential use, urban-renewal partial plans, El Dorado influence, front gardens, commercial blocks planned in approved projects, development partial plans, consolidated sectors and the area subject to the eco-efficient industrial parks (PIE) paragraph. Read each record’s planning reference: Decree 555 of 2021 planning layers and partial plans referencing Decree 190 of 2004 retain their own acts.
Explore these layers ↗Activity areas describe land-use and mixing categories; they are not a list of authorized activities for each parcel. The SINU treatments and activity-area layers query the online service; the treatments and activity-area copies retrieved on 5 October 2026 and the building ranges retain their dated publications. These are distinct sources, not additional coverage: do not sum polygons or areas across the service and the copy of the same category. The SINU queries for sectors, renewal plans, El Dorado influence, front gardens, commercial blocks, development plans, consolidated sectors and the PIE area are independent and are not added to the point or lot planning report. Plan statuses are published classifications, not certification of current legal validity. 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.

Query Bogotá planning by point or lot
Locate an area and read matching polygons from the integrated layers together. The record retains their codes, attributes, sources and dates; unknown values remain unreported.
- Open the viewer and choose the planning query.
- Mark a point on the map or query its center. Pan the map to inspect another area.
- Compare findings by layer and open their sources. A layer with no matches, awaiting integration or unavailable does not establish an absence of rules.
In Bogotá, open “Query POT across this lot” from a lot found by the point query or from its map record. Cadastre geometry is retrieved without additional generalization to query planning polygons intersecting the whole lot. The white outline shows the queried lot; a match may only touch a boundary. Affected percentages and areas are not calculated. A lot may contain several properties: it identifies neither owners nor legal parcel boundaries.
This is a mapping query by location, not an address search or a legal report. It confirms neither legal validity, permits nor authorized activities; cross-check applicable documents and administrative acts.
Query Bogotá planning →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. The Lots layer identifies the mapped lot and its LOTCODIGO and queries planning polygons intersecting its entire outline; a lot may contain several properties and does not certify a legal property unit. From the record, query planning across the lot: its complete geometry is retrieved and validated. After completion, save that lot and select a different LOTCODIGO to compare two queries, keeping sources, dates, errors and partial results separate; no percentages or development rights are calculated. A mapped lot is not a legal property unit. Parcel planning reports and official land-use queries are provided by SINUPOT. The independent ANLA project query shows areas and attributes published by the Autoridad Nacional de Licencias Ambientales (ANLA), retaining its attribution. The prepared example opens record objectid 125 for file LAM2782. Its literal note “Bodega activa de acuerdo con el ESA” (“Warehouse active according to the ESA”) belongs to the historical source; it does not confirm current operation. This is not land-use zoning and establishes neither current legal validity of permits nor a complete district inventory. One file may have several areas and acts: records are not unique projects, and their areas must not be summed as affected district land. The act date is not a mapping update; the source declares neither a mapping scale nor a dataset-wide date, and the item declares no specific reuse licence. Queries are limited to 500 records and 2 MiB; results depend on the queried area and may be partial. Consult the official ANLA links and confirm the file and its acts.
Bogotá uses CHIP and BARMANPRE in cadastral sources. Local cadastre filters a 12-digit LOTCODIGO only within the visible area; this is not a district-wide or NPN search. 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.
Query guide for Bogotá →Sources, dates and limits

| Net residential-use sectors · SINU onlineSecretaría Distrital de Planeación de Bogotá · SINU service Net residential-use sectors published by SDP. BARRIO and USO retain source text; they are not a list of authorized activities for each parcel. The Quirinal example, OBJECTID 652 and CODIGO_ID 1, reports act DEC 555 and act and capture dates of 29 December 2021; these are historical record attributes, not proof of current legal validity or a dataset-wide update date. Missing values remain unreported, implying neither permission nor prohibition. The source declares neither a dataset-wide date nor a specific reuse license in the item; dates and licenses from other publications do not apply. The service returns EPSG:4326 coordinates from its local PCS_CarMAGBOG system, without independent geodetic accuracy verification. It does not certify heights, permits or development rights.

| Sectors incompatible with residential use · SINU onlineSecretaría Distrital de Planeación de Bogotá · SINU service Sectors identified by the source as incompatible with residential use; SECTOR retains the published category. This is neither an inventory of existing activities nor a parcel-level permission or prohibition assessment. Example OBJECTID 656, CODIGO_ID 1, reports act DEC 555 and act and capture dates of 29 December 2021; they establish neither current legal validity nor a dataset-wide update date. An absent polygon does not establish residential compatibility. The source declares neither a dataset-wide date nor a specific reuse license in the item; dates and licenses from other publications do not apply. The service returns EPSG:4326 coordinates from its local PCS_CarMAGBOG system, without independent geodetic accuracy verification. It does not certify heights, permits or development rights.

| Urban-renewal partial plans · SINU onlineSecretaría Distrital de Planeación de Bogotá · SINU service Query restricted to official subtype TIPO=2, Renovación Urbana (urban renewal); the service also contains other subtypes that this layer excludes. Original numeric codes are retained: ESTADO 1 means “Adoptado” (adopted) and 8 “Desistidos” (withdrawn) in the official domain; TIPO_INICIATIVA 1 is “Pública” (public), 2 “Privada” (private) and 3 “Mixta” (mixed). These are source classifications, not certification of current legal validity, execution or operation. Example Proscenio, OBJECTID 8150 and code PPR006, reports DEC 334 of 9 August 2010, a reference to District Decree 190 of 2004 and FECHA_CAPTURA of 30 December 2025; the service folder name does not assign Decree 555 to this record. FECHA_CAPTURA has the official alias “Fecha Actualización” (update date), but belongs to each record and establishes no dataset-wide date. Kira, code PPR009, reports status 8 and several unreported attributes; an empty value means neither permission nor absence of conditions. The source declares neither a dataset-wide date nor a specific reuse license in the item; dates and licenses from other publications do not apply. The service returns EPSG:4326 coordinates from its local PCS_CarMAGBOG system, without independent geodetic accuracy verification. It does not certify parcel uses, heights, permits or development rights. Queries cover the visible area and are limited to 500 records and 2 MiB per response.

| El Dorado direct influence area · SINU onlineSecretaría Distrital de Planeación de Bogotá · SINU service The official layer is named “Zona influencia directa del aeropuerto El Dorado” (El Dorado airport direct influence area). Example OBJECTID 330 reports ZONA_ACTIVIDAD “INDUSTRIAL” and DESCRIPCION_ZONA_ACTIVIDAD “AREA ACTIVIDAD INDUSTRIAL”; it does not certify aviation restrictions, parcel permission or present industrial operation. It retains DEC 765 and act and capture dates of 9 November 1999 alongside a planning reference to Decree 190 of 2004: these attributes are not harmonized, and the service folder does not assign Decree 555 to the record. CODIGO_ID and ESCALA_CAPTURA are unreported; no identifier or scale is inferred. The complete MultiPolygon, including both components, is retained. Dates are historical record attributes, not proof of current legal validity. The source declares neither a dataset-wide date nor a specific reuse license in the item; dates and licenses from other publications do not apply. The service returns EPSG:4326 coordinates from its local PCS_CarMAGBOG system, without independent geodetic accuracy verification. 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. | No dataset-wide date declared; check individual recordsSource checked: | The official item declares no specific reuse license |
| Front-garden dimension · SINU onlineSecretaría Distrital de Planeación de Bogotá · SINU service Front-garden dimensions published in the layer “Dimensión” (dimension). DIMENSION is text: the legend retains categories such as “8”, “3.5”, “0” and “N/A”, without converting them to numbers or assigning a unit absent from the metadata. “N/A” is interpreted as neither zero nor absence of conditions. Example OBJECTID 20341, CODIGO_ID 1357, reports DIMENSION “8”, act RES 1631 and act and capture dates of 19 July 2023, referencing Decree 555 of 2021. ESCALA_CAPTURA is unreported. The dimension does not certify a mandatory parcel setback, buildable area, permit or present conditions; consult the act and official reports. Dates belong to each record and establish neither current legal validity nor a dataset-wide update. The source declares neither a dataset-wide date nor a specific reuse license in the item; dates and licenses from other publications do not apply. The service returns EPSG:4326 coordinates from its local PCS_CarMAGBOG system, without independent geodetic accuracy verification.

| Commercial blocks planned in approved projects · SINU onlineSecretaría Distrital de Planeación de Bogotá · SINU service Commercial blocks described by the source as planned in approved urban-development projects; this is neither an establishment inventory nor proof of present commercial activity or parcel permission. Example OBJECTID 1200, CODIGO_ID 300001, retains CODIGO_MANZANA_CATASTRAL “00562691” as text with leading zeros: it identifies a block, not an NPN or CHIP, and enables no parcel lookup. It reports act RES 1975 and act and capture dates of 11 November 2022, referencing article 243 of Decree 555 of 2021.

| Development partial plans · SINU onlineSecretaría Distrital de Planeación de Bogotá · SINU service Partial plans of numeric subtype TIPO 1 “Desarrollo” (development), queried separately from renewal plans. The legend retains ESTADO as a published category: its domain lists codes 1 through 13, while the renderer also mentions 14 and 15; this discrepancy is retained without completing or harmonizing statuses. The Edén - El Descanso example, OBJECTID 8156 and code PPD023, reports ESTADO 1 “Adoptado” (adopted) and initiative 1 “Pública” (public) in the official domains, act DEC 521 of 21 December 2006 and capture of 9 November 2023, referencing Decree 190 of 2004 and ESCALA_CAPTURA “2000”. Campo Verde, OBJECTID 8560, reports initiative 3 “Mixta” (mixed). These are historical record attributes, not certification of current adoption, execution, rights or authorized parcel uses. Complete polygons, including holes and separate components, are retained. The source declares neither a dataset-wide date nor a specific reuse license in the item; dates and licenses from other publications do not apply. The service returns EPSG:4326 coordinates from its local PCS_CarMAGBOG system, without independent geodetic accuracy verification.

Example OBJECTID 56340 retains CODIGO_BARRIO “007208”, CODIGO_MANZANA “04” and the eight-character CODIGO_UNICO “00720804”, in LOCALIDAD “13” (Teusaquillo). These are text codes: leading zeros and original lengths are retained without padding, numeric conversion or interpretation as NPN or parcel identifiers. It reports act RES 1005 and act and capture dates of 24 June 2025, referencing Decree 555 of 2021 and ESCALA_CAPTURA “1:1.000”. The classification certifies neither rights, permitted parcel uses nor present conditions. Dates and scale belong to each record and establish neither a dataset-wide update, current legal validity nor certified accuracy. The source declares neither a dataset-wide date nor a specific reuse license in the item; dates and licenses from other publications do not apply. The service returns EPSG:4326 coordinates from its local PCS_CarMAGBOG system, without independent geodetic accuracy verification.
