These are extracts of the Municipal Ordinance:

The flag of the municipality of San Joaquín, created by José Ramón Castillo Peraza, was selected in a public open competition sanctioned by a popular, universal, direct and secret vote held on 4 and 5 July 2014.
The winning design was technically fitted by Lic. Carlos Zambrano, matching the following description.
Symbology.
Attributes: Composed of a rectangular panel divided into two horizontal stripes of equal size, green in the upper part and blue in the lower part. Over the stripes a six-pointed white star and a "gajillo" of the same diagonally superimposed to the star.
Semiology.
The green stripe represents the northern part of the municipality, its mountains, vegetation and the hills that unit it and form its limit with Cordillera de la Costa.
The blue stripe represents the southern part of the municipality, united and limited by Lake Tacarigua (Valencia), representing the lake as a reflect of the sky that horizontally covers our municipality from the beginning to the end. It also represents rivers as hydrographical resources, namely emblematic river Ereigüe (once known as Hato Viejo), the recreation and tourism potential of the municipality of San Joaquín
Over the green and blue stars are placed, in white, the star and the gajillo, the highest cultural representation of the Pastores de San Joaquín:
- the six-pointed star represents the guide for the San Joaquín Shepherds, the urban nucleus, its autonomy and people, their nobleness and ingeniousness as the builders of one of the 14 municipalities in Carabobo State, which, like the stars, shine with proper light.
- the "gajillo", the figurative form of the music instrument played in the dances of the San Joaquín Shepherds, is a religious, cultural and historic icon of the devotion to Baby Jesus, the pride of San Joaquín's identity.
