Explore these layers ↗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. 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.

Planning land uses and zoning
Open the prepared query, mark a point and compare results by layer.
Query planning and land use →Query planning and land use at a point
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.
Query Santa Marta 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
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.

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.
