Cadastral land · spatial query in Cali
Explore cadastral land geometry records in a small area. Select a geometry or result to inspect its source and overlap notices; compare with land classification and planning treatments without identifying a parcel by NPN.
Explore these layers ↗Spatial query of cadastral land geometry records published by the Subdirección de Catastro. Only complete geometries reprojected by the service to CRS84 are received, without parcel attributes or NPN search. Records may coincide or overlap; their count is not a count of unique parcels, and distinct source copies are not removed. This does not establish ownership, legal boundaries or complete municipal coverage. Zoom to level 19 or 20; responses are limited to 500 records and 2 MiB. If results are partial, reduce the area before interpretation or export. Data and publication dates are not stated; service verification is not a measurement date. The service does not state a dataset-specific licence: retain attribution and consult its official conditions.

Cadastral land · spatial query
Open the map with its prepared layers and select a feature to inspect its attributes.
Open Cali map →How to use the map
- Open the prepared query at zoom 19. Keep the area small and zoom to 20 if you need to reduce the queried viewport.
- The cadastral layer shows geometry only: it has no parcel attributes, field filters or NPN search.
- Select a geometry on the map or in Results. Review its source, retrieval time and notices; repeated or overlapping records are not unique parcels.
- If results are partial, zoom in and query a smaller viewport. Export retains received records with source and date; it does not certify complete coverage or parcel boundaries.
Frequently asked questions
What does Cali local cadastre offer?
Explore geometry outlines within the visible area and select a result. This source requests no parcel identifiers or attributes, offers no NPN lookup and does not enable Bogotá’s two-lot comparison. Planning layers are queried separately; outlines certify neither ownership nor legal boundaries.
What can I compare in Cali’s spatial cadastral query?
The prepared query opens cadastral land outlines, land classification and planning treatments at zoom 19. Compare the three layers separately within a small area. Outlines are geometry records from the service: they may coincide or overlap. One observed viewport returned 419 records with 16 distinct geometries; these are not 419 unique parcels or property units, and their areas must not be summed as unique surface area.
How do I inspect an outline without searching personal data?
Open the prepared query, keep the map at zoom 19 or 20 and select an outline on the map or in the result list. The cadastral layer requests complete geometries only, reprojected by the service to CRS84: it requests no attributes, NPNs or owners and supports no field filters. Classification and treatment layers have their own fields and sources.
Does this comparison certify boundaries or permitted uses?
No. Viewing outlines alongside POT layers certifies neither ownership, legal boundaries, areas, permitted uses nor permits. This spatial query does not include the NPN parcel search or the whole-parcel POT workflow available in Medellín. Confirm any decision with Cali’s Cadastre and Planning authorities.
What do partial results, no matches or a failure mean?
The visible viewport is queried, with up to 500 records and a 2 MiB response per layer. Zoom in or pan when a partial-response notice appears; the view is not a complete municipal inventory. Coincident records are retained without deduplication. No matches does not establish an absence of land records, and a source failure is not converted to an empty result.
What are the outlines’ source, date and licence?
Alcaldía de Santiago de Cali, Subdirección de Catastro and IDESC; WFS layer catastro:cat_bas_terrenos, verified on 2026-10-14. Dataset-wide data, publication and revision dates and a specific reuse licence are not declared. Do not inherit dates or licences from the communes or POT. Retain attribution and review the official terms linked in this layer’s record.
How do I share or export this comparison?
Share preserves the public view and enabled layers; sources are queried again when the link opens. Under Inspect and export results, export loaded results and retain their partial-response notices. The outline download contains geometries, not an attributed cadastral record; it is neither a certificate nor the complete municipal mapping.
Local search and identifiers
Locate an area by coordinates or general address and place search; a match does not identify or certify a parcel. Explore its layers and published attributes. Official NPN searches and land-use opinions are provided by the municipal portal. 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 1747 for file LAM5950; 29 November 2018 is the published act date, not a mapping update. This is not land-use zoning and establishes neither current legal validity of permits, operating status nor a complete municipal inventory. One file may have several areas and acts: records are not unique projects, and their areas must not be summed as affected municipal land. 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.
Cali uses the 30-digit National Parcel Number (NPN); municipal services also distinguish the parcel identifier and local parcel number. GeoSAT does not convert these identifiers to Medellín’s CBML or provide cadastral NPN search in Cali. The spatial land query shows geometry records without parcel attributes; it does not identify a unique parcel. Use the official land-use service to consult an NPN.
Query guide for Cali →Sources, dates and limits
Each source’s verification date appears in the table. Retrieval time is not the data update date. Small city-wide layers use the full extent; larger layers depend on the visible area. Reference publications retain their original retrieval date. Each page contains up to 500 features: up to 2 MiB for external services and 4 MiB for local publications. Reference publications load matching pages, up to 5,000 features and 8 MiB per query. External services may return partial samples, identified in the viewer.
