According to information obtained from the municipal administration of Wiltz, the city uses two flags. The flag of the municipality is white with the municipal coat of arms in the middle.

On Google StreetView (photo) the flag mentioned with its municipal coat of arms cannot be found flying in front of the town hall.

The second flag is the flag of the canton of Wiltz; it is a banner of the arms, that is a yellow flag (ca 2:3) with a red stripe at the top. This is interesting because cantons in Luxembourg aren't and have never been administrative units, legal entities, and for this reason cannot have coats of arms and flags. However for various reason a need to symbolize the cantons appeared in the past and more or less fantasy coats of arms appeared. This seems to be the first reported cantonal flag in Luxembourg.

The flag can be seen in Google StreetView (photo), in front of the municipal hall. The flag mentioned with its municipal coat of arms cannot be found flying in front of the town hall. Maybe it has changed and taken the place of both a cantonal flag & municipal flag?
