I recntly found the following weblinks, where is quoted the
fact that municipios in Nicaragua do have flags. Searching the
entire site, where every municipio of Nicaragua is presented, I
only found three occurences of the word "bandera", in
Matagalpa province.

Looking at <www.pinoleros.com>,
I understand that the logo ot the municipio looks like a
coat-of-arms, the lower left quarter of which looks like the
municipal flag, which is made of four colours : green, yellow,
white, blue. No more details about the design: "Para el año
de 1,999 se estableció el logotipo de la municipalidad, así
como la Bandera que representa el municipio. Diseñados por Jairo
J. Tinoco Icabalzeta. Estos emblemas se dibujan de la siguiente
manera: El significado del logotipo municipal es el siguiente:
Esquina superior izquierda: el cáliz, que representa la
religiosidad. Esquina superior derecha: Bandera de Nicaragua.
Parte inferior izquierda: Bandera de la municipalidad. Verde:
nuestros campos. Amarillo: nuestro sol, en relación con Dios.
Blanco: la paz, la libertad de un pueblo. Azul: nuestro cielo,
nuestros mares; nuestra nación. Parte inferior derecha: maquina
de escribir que representa el trabajo administrativo o de oficina
y una pala que representa el trabajo de construcción, limpieza y
otros que se prestan en nuestra municipalidad."
On the same page are presented the "Centros De Estudio En El
Area Urbana." It looks like educational institutions in
Matiguas do have flags too, but no description.

Translation: "The logotype and the flag of the
municipality were established in 1999. The emblems were designed
by Jairo J. Tinoco Icabalzeta. The meaning of the municipal
logotype is the following: Upper left corner: the chalice,
representing religiosity; Upper right corner: the flag of
Nicaragua; Lower left part: the flag of the municipality. Green:
our fields; Yellow: our sun, in relation with God; White: the
peace and freedom of a people (a village?); Azure: Our sky, our
seas, our nacion. Lower right part: a typewriter which symbolizes
the administrative work and a shovel(?) which represents
construction work, [limpieza?] and other done in our
municipality."
Since nothing is said on the arrangement of the colours, I would
assume that they follow the pattern of the national flag, i.e.
horizontal stripes.
