La Mesa municipality · IGAC / Colombia OT · GeoSAT adaptation: domain labels and empty values · Source checked: 2026-10-08
Reference mapping published by IGAC from municipal planning instruments. The catalog lists publication on 28 November 2025 and inputs dated 20 February 2025; these are not adoption dates or polygon update dates. The layer does not identify the applicable act for each feature: query the instrument register separately under Tools. Codes retain official domain labels without standardizing categories or filling nulls. Empty compatible, conditional or prohibited-use fields do not mean a use is allowed. All received polygons, rings and vertices are retained; counts do not represent parcels or exclusive areas. Queries load the visible area in pages. Does not certify authorized uses, building capacity, permits, planning validity or current hazards. Copy retrieved: 2026-10-08. Catalog scale 1:2.000. “Subzona turístico recreativa” retains urban use 1, Residential; the text “Instituciona 1 y 3” is retained in compatible uses. Published restrictions are retained without establishing current authorizations, and missing restrictions remain unknown. Record 64624 notes that no uses will be allowed in electrical corridors although its prohibited-use field is empty: that field is not reconstructed. Record 64626 lacks use and category and notes adjustment to the official IGAC boundary. Heritage or protection labels do not certify current designations.

Locate the query in La Mesa
Open the planning example and press “Query map center” to view 48111, “Subzona intermedia”. To filter other records, use “View layers and explore the area”, “Inspect and export results”, the Activity areas layer and the Record identifier (OBJECTID) field. Compare 48108, “Subzona turístico recreativa 1”, use 1 Residential, and 48114, “Subzona industrial”, use 4 Industrial. Observations in 48114 say Agreement 005 of 2000 does not define complementary, restricted and prohibited uses. Rural record 64626 retains unknown use and category with a note about adjustment to the IGAC boundary. For rural example 64620, “Uso agropecuario tradicional”, move the center to longitude -74.48034, latitude 4.58003, zoom to 14 and query the center; to filter, select Rural zoning. Compatibility and restriction texts are source attributes, not current authorizations. Parcel search is not enabled.
25386 identifies La Mesa in DANE. OBJECTID identifies records, not parcels or permits. IGAC records PBOT2000, Agreement 5 of 22 May 2000, with status Current and long-term validity expired. The same identifier appears in Agreement 8 of 14 June 2001, Agreement 3 of 31 March 2005 and Decree 110 of 19 September 2005, without reported status or validity; the difference between identifier and dates is retained. Register updated on 15 December 2025. These statuses are attributed to the register: they certify neither current validity nor that the geometries correspond to the most recent instrument.

Query guide for La Mesa →Frequently asked questions
How do I query “Planning: IGAC land uses and zoning”?
Open “Planning: IGAC land uses and zoning” in La Mesa: Activity areas · IGAC 2025, Rural zoning · IGAC 2025. Select an area and read its detail, code, official domain label and observations. For activity areas, Uso_Principal 1 means Residencial; for rural zoning, 1 means Agricola. The domains differ: do not compare codes across layers as if they were the same category.
Does an empty field mean a use is allowed?
No. Compatible, conditional and prohibited uses retain what the source reports when available. Nulls remain missing; discrepancies between codes and descriptions are neither filled nor corrected. Identifiers distinguish records, not parcels. Confirm the rules and applicable act with municipal Planning.
What dates and coverage do the polygons represent?
The IGAC catalog lists publication on 28 November 2025 and inputs dated 20 February 2025. These are not adoption or planning-validity dates. The copy retrieved on 2026-10-08 retains all received municipal records; the visible area loads by pages, up to 5,000 map features and 8 MiB per layer. Overlaps and gaps may exist; do not add their areas or interpret risk categories as current alerts. Read the local notices in Sources.
What is the source and how can I reuse the data?
IGAC / Colombia OT, using municipal instruments as inputs. Colombia en Mapas declares CC BY 4.0 for the selected layers: credit the municipality, IGAC and the GeoSAT adaptation when exporting. GeoSAT retains geometries and codes, adds official domain labels and represents empty text as null. Records link the service, catalog and documents; the documents are not automatically linked to individual polygons.
