Flag Description: The flag consists of a yellow field with the town's coat of arms centered on it. The crest features a blue shield with a green base, on which stands a golden (yellow) bustard facing towards the fly (right side from the viewer's perspective), holding three golden ears of wheat in its raised left foot. Above the shield is a silver helmet topped with a golden crown emitting three ears of wheat, accompanied by blue-gold (left) and red-silver (right) mantling. Below the shield, the text 'BALMAZÚJVÁROS' is written in black capital letters.

Symbolism: The yellow color of the flag and the ears of wheat in the coat of arms symbolize the fertility of the region and its deep agricultural roots. The bustard bird is a characteristic inhabitant of the surrounding Hortobágy puszta, representing the local natural heritage. The helmet and crown recall the historical rights and status of the town.
