The municipal flag of Tapiraí was designed by Arcióe Antônio Peixoto de
Faria. It is green, 14 x 20 units, with a white horizontal stripe 4 units
wide overlaid by a narrower red stripe of one unit. In the hoist is a white
isosceles triangle with the municipal coat of arms placed on its center.
White is for peace, friendship, work, wealth, and the religious feeling of
the people. Green is rural prosperity, honor, civility, courtesy,
abundance, and hope. Red is for dedication, patriotism, audacity,
intrepidity, etc. The coat of arms is said to represent the municipal
government, the triangle the city in which it has its seat, and the
horizontal white and red stripes the radiation of municipal authority
throughout the territory of Tapiraí.
