The regulations on the local flags in Croatia require that a flag of a city or community be of a field of one colour with the coat of arms in the middle or offset towards hoist. Most of the communities follow this rule.
In the administrative reform of 1997 several new communities were formed split off from older communities, while at the same time the communities of Vojnić and Lasinja were added to Karlovac County, respectively from Sisak and Moslavina County. In 2003 the community of Kamanje was formed from part of the community of Žakanje. In 2006 the community of Skakavac was included into the city of Karlovac.
