I was informed by the council that there is no municipal flag.

The coat of arms of Guachochi was adopted on 30 September 1983, being designed by Francisco Guerra Peña. This was adopted through a call for submissions from the council; the motto was the work of Everardo Quintana. The shield is divided into three sections; first diagonally across, then the right side split in half. The upper section, on a yellow field, depicts an open book reading the motto of the municipality: "Trabajo, Educación, y Progreso" [Work, Education, and Progress]; the right side reads "ENERO 9 DE 1963", when it got its first municipal council. Below is an Indian and mestizo handshaking to show fraternity and collaboration. Also found in this half is the figure of a white heron on reeds by the water, representing the origin of the place name which means "place of herons" in Tarahumara. To the left side is a bundle of eight logs on earth, with a canyon visible. Also visible on the earth is a tree and grass. Above the name "GUACHOCHI" is read in a ribbon connected to the shield, having a background on top of this.
