Uganda: Kampala cadastre by block and plot

Kampala's cadastral parcels from the Ministry of Lands' 2024 cadastre, as tools an AI assistant can call: find a parcel by cadastral number, block and plot, or coordinates, read its registration status and surveyed area, and see it on a map with its neighbours.

Tool names and descriptions are in English, which models understand best; your assistant still answers in your language.

UG_parcel_search
Find Kampala land parcels (MLHUD cadastre) by cadastral number, block and plot, or location, with each parcel's whole record. query takes a cadastral number ('KCCA-71_1_22_NW_3-90941'), a block and plot ('Block 9 Plot 123'; a block alone lists its parcels, paged with offset), or coordinates as 'latitude, longitude' (e.g. 0.3136, 32.5811). With coordinates it returns current and pending parcels containing the point (distance 0), then the nearest within `radius` metres, closest first. Each parcel has id, cadastralNo, suid, block, plot, status, landUse, surveyArea (m²), roadName, district, county, subcounty, mapArea and bbox. Set include_geometry for each boundary as GeoJSON (keep limit small). Use UG_parcel_image to see a parcel and its neighbours.
query*string
Cadastral number, 'Block 9 Plot 123', 'Block 9', or 'latitude, longitude'
radiusnumber
Search radius in metres around coordinates(default 25)
limitinteger
Maximum results(default 20)
offsetinteger
Skip this many matches of a number or name search, to page through them(default 0)
include_geometryboolean
Include each boundary as a GeoJSON MultiPolygon(default false)
UG_parcel_image
A map image centred on a Kampala parcel (id, from UG_parcel_search) or a point (query), with every current and pending parcel in view outlined and labelled with its plot number, so you can see which parcel is where. The parcel passed as id is drawn in red with a larger label; a query point is a red dot. Returns the parcels in view as JSON (label, id, cadastralNo, block, lot, area in m²; labelled: false where its label didn't fit), then one JPEG per basemap. Basemaps: satellite (Esri World Imagery, often a few years old), hybrid (the same imagery with road and place names), streets and topo (Esri's street and topographic maps). Pass several to compare, e.g. ['satellite', 'streets'] to match buildings with street names. Parcel outlines are yellow on imagery and magenta on maps. Imagery is not always aligned with the cadastre: offsets of several metres are possible. A scale bar is at bottom left. Labels are left off where they'd overlap; call again with a smaller radius to read them. Each image costs about as much context as 1,000 words, so ask for what you need.
idstring
Parcel id (from UG_parcel_search, a current or pending row), drawn in red
querystring
'latitude, longitude' to centre on instead of a parcel
radiusnumber
Metres from the centre to the image edge. Default: fits the parcel with a margin, or 80 m around a point
basemapsarray
One image per basemap(default ["satellite"])
sizeinteger
Image width and height in pixels(default 768)
