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. “Recreacional” retains urban use 5, Institutional, without correction from its name; 981 retains unknown use. The observation of residential and commercial buildings on the same parcel neither identifies a specific parcel nor verifies current conditions. 7935 and 7936 retain unknown rural use and category; six rural categories remain unreported. 6739 retains “Aparentemente esta área corresponde al Río Chicamocha” as the source hypothesis, without confirmation of water-body identity or boundary. “Sistemas agrosilvopastoriles” retains use 1, Agricultural; “Zona Minera” retains 5, Mining, and category 3, without establishing titles, permits or extraction. Productive-protective forest and absolute-protection labels do not certify current environmental boundaries; expansion does not establish implementation or building suitability. Compatible, conditional and prohibited uses are unreported.

Open the planning example and press “Query map center” to view 976, “Institucional”. To filter records, use “View layers and explore the area”, “Inspect and export results”, the Activity areas layer and the Record identifier (OBJECTID) field. 981, “Sin información”, has no reported urban use; “Recreacional” retains use 5, Institutional. Rural records 6737–6739, 7823 and 7935–7936 have no reported category; 7935–7936 also have no reported use. “Bosque productor - protector” retains use 14, Conservation. The observation for 6739 says it apparently corresponds to the Río Chicamocha; that uncertainty is retained without turning it into confirmed identification. Mining, expansion, water-body and protection labels do not establish permits, construction availability or current environmental boundaries. Compatible, conditional and prohibited uses are unreported in the available records; an empty or null value means neither permitted nor prohibited. General address search does not identify parcels. For rural example 3505, “Sistemas agrosilvopastoriles”, move the center to longitude -72.8725, latitude 5.75073, zoom to 14 and query the center; to filter, select Rural zoning. Under IGAC public cadastre, “Search by NPN” queries the complete 30-digit Número Predial Nacional across this municipality’s urban and rural layers, independently of the map view. It may return multiple records; review matches, partial responses and failures for each layer. NPN is neither CBML nor a land-title folio. The database cut is 2026-08-31 and certifies neither ownership, precision nor parcel planning rules. The NPN is excluded from shared links and analytics, and the query is not saved on reload.
Municipal code 15820 identifies Tópaga in Boyacá. OBJECTID identifies records within each source, not parcels or permits. Uso_Principal and Tipo_Categoria_Rural retain their separate domains. IGAC records EOT2000 (record 9060), Agreement 60, adopted on 2000-12-29, instrument status “Repealed”, long-term validity “Unreported”; register updated on 2025-06-15. IGAC records EOT2023 (record 9061), Agreement 22, adopted on 2023-12-22, instrument status “In force”, long-term validity “In force”; register updated on 2025-06-15. Instrument status and long-term validity are separate IGAC-register fields; they neither certify currently applicable rules nor identify the act behind each polygon. CEM reports a catalog date of 2025-11-28 and inputs dated 2025-02-20 for these layers; these are neither municipal-act adoption dates nor dates for individual polygons. Copies were retrieved on 2026-10-08.

Query guide for Tópaga →Frequently asked questions
How do I query “Planning: IGAC land uses and zoning”?
Open “Planning: IGAC land uses and zoning” in Tópaga: 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.
