Description

The flag of the City of Rio Rancho, New Mexico, is white with city seal on it and the city slogan "THE CITY OF VISION" below the seal. Here are the relevant sections of the City Code:

The city seal shall contain the words, "The Great Seal of the City of Rio Rancho, New Mexico," approximately along the outer edges, and the date "1981" on the bottom edge. The seal is an adaptation of a drawing submitted as a result of a public seal design contest. The winning drawing was submitted by Nino Carpenito, a student at Rio Rancho Elementary School.

11.03 ADOPTION OF CITY FLAG.
(A) A city flag is hereby adopted to be used on all occasions when the city is officially and publicly represented, with the privilege of use by all residents upon occasions as they may deem fitting and appropriate.
