How to read scale and dates in Asunción’s Plan Regulador

A question about use or expansion in Asunción requires more than a screenshot of a coloured map. Identify the lot, consulted instrument and proposed intervention before estimating what might be possible there.

Preserve the document’s scale

The municipal Plan Regulador map dated 29 April 2025 is presented at 1:20,000 scale. That supports territorial reading; enlarging the file on screen does not turn it into a precise boundary survey.

Record the date, scale and legend. If the property lies near a boundary, do not determine zone membership by counting pixels. Prepare the property reference and exact location for a more specific check. A clear screenshot should show the surrounding context as well as the disputed line.

Review individual layer references

The municipality’s Plan Regulador geographic service includes layers with their own references, including waterfront instruments. Read each layer’s name and stated instrument; do not assume every overlaid element comes from the same date.

Frame the question around your proposal: intended use, an extension or a condition affecting a particular frontage. If a layer and document appear inconsistent, retain both references instead of selecting the more favourable result. A well-prepared enquiry asks which instrument and condition apply to the lot. The map provides planning context; it does not alone establish permission or justify converting potential floor space into an expected selling price. Resolving the applicable rule precedes any calculation that depends on it.

A building for practising the distinction

The verified Terraes record represents a 17.34 m² footprint at -25.31, -57.6136. The query on 22 September 2026 returned this Overture record, release 2026-08-19.0. This is footprint area; it does not identify an apartment or establish rights over the land. Use the example to recognise which object you are reading before applying the official query to your property.
