Legal notice: The counties, cities and communities in the Republic of Croatia by their decision on adoption and use of the coats of arms and flags limit the use of these symbols only after obtaining an explicit written permission. However, most of the units of local government and self-government by the same decisions explicitly allow the free use of the symbols in the educational and scientific purposes and in the artistic creation, under condition that such use does not offend the dignity and honour of the local unit. The author of these pages considers that the depiction of the coats of arms and the flags here meets the conditions of free use in that sense.

The historical flag of the Varaždin county was made in 1778. The flag consists of a silk field made of five red and white stripes. Near the hoist is appliqued hand-painted rectangular patch. On the obverse the patch pictures the coat of arms as granted in 1763 and on the reverse is pictured the patron of the county, Our Lady with Baby Jesus. The top red stripe was inscribed in three rows of golden letters on both sides. The flag is preserved in the Museum of the City of Varaždin. In 1997 a replica of that flag was made to be hoisted in the Mayor's office and used for ceremonial purposes.

The two teams were requested for further co-operation to combine their work, and upon the suggestions from the Ministry of Administration, the design that is virtually "polished up" historical coat of arms and the traditional flag were adopted.
