The flag
follows a pattern not uncommon in Brazilian municipalities: blue with a
horizontal stripe of yellow-red-yellow, and yellow hoist triangle (covering in
part the red stripe) with the city arms above a very small
inscription reading Bragança Paulista in black letters.

The full arms are or a diminutive lis azure below two escutcheons with Bragança ancient (q.v.), dexter, and vert five crowns(?) argent bordure of the same charged with seven objects of the field, sinister; counterchief azure with wavelets argent. Red “cardboard” scroll with "Bragança Paulista ¶ ad altiora" in white sans serif capitals; shield flanked by two coffee branches crossed at the base and surmounted by a mural crown argent masoned sable with five apparent towers..
The
arms borrow from the original item, see Bragança in
Portugal, namely the ancient Bragança family arms: argent on a saltire gules
five (quinas:) escutcheons charged with five plates each.
