^The FAME is a site devoted to the systematic and scientific study of flags and coats of arms. Such symbols often bear strong political and other messages. Inclusion of those symbols here does not mean that the author supports or approves of the ideas they may stand for.	This site is harvested for the NSK digital archives.

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 arms consist of three fields, St. George slaying the dragon, St. Andrew's cross bottony, and chequy field of Croatia. This is the same coat of arms as were given to Bjelovar County in 1871, when it was formed from regions that were removed from Military Frontier (known as Varazdin Frontier).
The flag, adopted in 1995 is bicolour of dark yellow over green with the coat of arms in the middle. The decision of 1996 does not change the coat of arms or the flag, but it adds provision regarding their usage.
At some point roughly around 2005, a ceremonial flag was manufactured by Colorsoft, a gonfalon horizontally divided into dark yellow and green with the coat of arms in the middle topped with a golden crown and with blue floral mantle and with the name of the community white in three lines below it. The gonfalon is bordered yellow and ending in five semi-sircular unequal tails ending with yellow fringe and tiwth two yellow tassels.
