It appears that Nacozari does not use any municipal flag.

The coat of arms of Nacozari was adopted nearing the end of the tenure of Guillermo Hernández Silva as Municipal President (1988-1991).
It was adopted through a call for a person to design a municipal coat of arms; Roberto Hinojos Guerra was in charge of managing this call for a designer,
coordinating it with then Municipal Secretary Miguel Ángel Ramírez. After four months of work, the council approved the design by Roberto Loaiza
Escalante on 10 September 1991; the council initially asked him to do it in less than a month, but Escalante was given more time as he felt rushed [he is also the designer of the Navojoa coat of arms].
The coat of arms depicts the Monument to Jesús García Corona found in the central plaza, with the date of his heroic act [7 November 1907]
in saving the town of Nacozari from a dynamite explosion on a train, which is a widely recognized story today; the municipality has even added "de García"
to its name in honor of this. In the section to the left of the monument, a drawing of the locomotive used by Jesús García is found on a railroad, holding a train
car loaded with dynamite; the sky is reddish, giving the sensation of a fire, as it recognizes the explosion which was to come. Below the locomotive is a cattle head, symbolic of the
cattle-raising industry. The railroad leads to the municipal palace in the section to the right of the monument; this is where the miners' library was found, and behind this building
is a green mountain range. Below this is a mining concentrator and industrial machinery with a high chimney; this can be seen when entering the town.
The two outlines carrying the symbols represent the coupling where train cars are attached; the outlines of the shield are also made to represent the joining between train cars.
The outline of the shield is orange due to its similarity with the color of copper, meanwhile the inner outlines are gold; both are ores mined within the municipality. Below the
inner outline is a joined ribbon, reading "NACOZARI DE GARCIA" and "SONORA" in the Helvetica Medium font.
