Since 1993 the Croatian legislation allows the units of local self-government (counties, cities and communities) to have their coat of arms and flag, however these may be legally used only after they are approved by a central state authority. The a flag of a city or community should be of a one colour field with the coat of arms in the centre or offset towards hoist. Some exceptions from this rule are tolerated for the cities with traditional flag established before these rules were made. The coat of arms must follow also a set of rules to be approved. Some cities and communities use unapproved designs nevertheless. See more on the approval dates. Prior to 1993 the coats of arms and flag were not regulated by state legislation.
The official bazon (heraldic descripton) of the coats of arms and descriptions of the flags are according to the approval text of the central state authority, other description according to other community documents.
In 1997 the communities of Karojba and Kaštelir - Labinci were formed, in 2000 Fažana and in 2006 Funtana and Tar - Vabriga.

During the Italian rule, the community of Boljun, today part of Lupoglav, was granted a coat of arms and a gonfalon in 1937. The coat of arms was argent St. George killing the dragon with the lictorial chief, topped with a silver mural crown of seven merlons, surrounded with a wreath of oak and olive branches bind with a tricolor ribbon.

Lupoglav, 1994 – 2000

1:2

The 1994 decision describes entirely different symbols then used today. The coat of arms was prescribed in a stylized shield shape, showing in a light blue filed on a green mount a castle with four towers connected with walls, all with red roofs. In the base is a silver wall with red roof connected with an angle to the right tower. In the frontal wall connecting two towers are the double doors with semicircular top. Over the castle to the left is raising a silver cliff. The flag was dark blue with golden border along the outer edges and with the coat of arms is set in the centre of it.

Marčana

1:2

The coat of arms of Marčana is tierced in bend azure, argent and vert. It is surrounded with a golden laurel wreath. This is supposedly the historical coat of arms, preserved as stone carving, of the fortified town of Mutvoran, around which the modern commonity developed. The flag is light blue with the white outlined coat of arms in the centre.
The coat of arms in this form is used since mid-1990's inspite of the simplier form determined in the 1994 decision. The laurel and oak branches of the 1994 ceremonial versions, replaced with only laurel branches, seem to have been used in almost all application of the coat of arms, except on the flag. The flag is used in the form following the Ministry approval, although it seems tha no such flag was formally ever adopted locally.

Marčana, 1994

1:2

The coat of arms as depicted in the decision adopting it has a traditional heart shield, all the fields edged with a thin white border. The decision prescribes a ceremonial version of the arms ornamented with a "decoration" in shape of a wreath composed of a laurel branch in dexter and an oak branch in sinister. The flag as adopted to go with it was a banner of arms, falling diagonal tricolour of blue, white and green, with the diagonal stripe intersecting the top and bottom edges in a quarter of their length.
The coat of arms was approved in the same blazon, but an entirely new flag was approved - blue with a white outlined coat of arms in the centre. There seem to be no particular community decision changing the design of the flag after the 1994 decision, and the Ministry approval refers only to it. In any case, the community uses since mid-90's somewhat stylized design and a flag based on it and the Ministry approval.

Medulin

1:2

The coat of arms of Medulin is a blue shield with a white stylized sea gull over three wavy lines representing the sea and seven five-pointed stars in a circle in the canton said to be a stylized sun. The ceremonial coat of arms includes a white border. Also, white elements may be represented as silver for the ceremonial occasions and if it is set against white background a black outline amy be included. The flag is a banner of arms, blue with the white emblem in the first half of the flag. In ceremonial occasions the white elements may be made silver. A table flag is also used, in ogival shape containing white bordered coat of arms and name of the community above. The seven stars symbolise the seven local communities in the community.

The Italian name Medolino is today not used officially as the name of community.

Medulin, variants

1:2

Instead of the originally prescribed medium light blue, the symbols of Medulin are used regularly in a dark blue shade. The flag with the emblems in the centre, rather then offset to hoist, is in use. At least three kind of table flags are recorded - vertical version of the official flag with the emblems offset slightly towards the bottom, an ogival flag with the emblem and the community name above and similar but with the shield outlined white as a kind of an orle.

Motovun – Montona

1:2

The coat of arms of Motovun is azure a five-towered massoned city argent with gates or on a triple mount vert with a rose gules. This is the historical coat of arms of Motovun showing the five high towers Motovun once had (of which only one is still standing). The oldest carving on the city cistern is beileved to be from the 13th century, while the other depiction from the 14th century are undoubtedly dated. The flag is (mint) green with the coat of arms bordered golden in its centre. The monocolour green flag is in use since at least 2011, displayed from a ceremonial staff in the community assembly, however, it was finally adopted only in 2018 and approved. The coat of arms description was not changed at the occasion, but its form was changed slightly making the top edge straight.

* The original Ministry decision reads "plave" (blue), amended to "zelene" (green) with the 19 November 2019 correction.

Motovun – Montona, 1994 – 2018

1:2

The coat of arms of Motovun adopted in 1994 was identical to the curent design, only the shield shape was slightly different, having a concave top edge. The flag was green over yellow bicolour with the coat of arms bordered golden in its centre. The ceremonial flag as designed was a gonlafon with three fringed rectangular tails thoughout verticallly divided into green and yellow having in the centre the coat of arms. In the top corners golden oak branch ornaments, as well as in the middle tail, while in the outer tails in each a golden rose on a long branch above it. The produced ceremonial flag omits the oak ornaments in the top with minor further differences in artwork. This ceremonial flag was probably continued in use.
The 1994 decision also prescribed a "large flag" sized to 1.30×4 m of the same basic design which was to be hoisted permanently over the city walls. It seems that such flag was not used at least since late 1990's.
Since 2011 a ceremonial-like ractangular flag of pale green is recorded in use.

Oprtalj – Portole

1:2

The coat of arms of the community of Oprtalj is a historical one: azure massoned walls argent issuant from the base with three closed doors proper and in chief a cross pattee.
