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.
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.

Locate the query in Cali
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.
