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: 2026-10-06. Catalog scale 1:2.000. In Santa Marta, the 599 urban and 26 rural records are queried as 6,519 and 2,353 components, respectively, retaining original coordinates, rings and vertices. OBJECTID identifies the official record and the component number identifies only this copy. Counts describe components and may be partial in broad views: zoom in. Do not add overlapping areas. Differences between codes and “Equipamiento” and “Espacio público” details are retained without correction. Thirty urban records lack a main use. Compatible, conditional and prohibited uses are unreported.

Locate the query in Santa Marta
Open Planning, zoom in and select a component. Compare Uso_Principal and its label with Detalle_Uso_Principal: “Equipamiento” and “Espacio público” retain the published codes even when they appear inconsistent. Filter by OBJECTID to retrieve components of the same record. If a partial sample appears, narrow the visible area. Under Tools, compare both instruments and confirm the applicable act with district Planning. Under “ANLA project areas”, open the Los Ciruelos ecotourism project example, file LAM4267, objectid 161. Compare sector, published act number and date; description and note retain the historical text “ARCHIVADO” without inferring current legal status. The official three-record sample is partial and does not represent a complete municipal inventory; a query window may include areas outside the district. Verified territorial membership applies only to the prepared point, not the complete geometry. This separate query does not replace the land-use plan or establish current operations, permit validity or authorized uses. The source declares no mapping scale, dataset-wide date or specific reuse licence; consult the official ANLA links and terms.
47001 identifies Santa Marta in DANE. OBJECTID distinguishes mapping records, not parcels or permits. Property-registration and parcel-number search are not enabled. Area codes retain the semantics published by IGAC. ID_COMPONENTE_COPIA distinguishes parts of a record within this copy; it is not an official identifier.

Query guide for Santa Marta →Frequently asked questions
How do I query “Planning: IGAC land uses and zoning”?
Open “Planning: IGAC land uses and zoning” in Santa Marta: 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 2026-10-06 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.
