Zadar County, situated in northern Dalmatia, was made by the partial territorial reorganization of Croatia on 1 January 1997, from the former Zadar-Knin County (Zadarsko-kninska županija), by excluding from it some parts that more naturally belong to Šibenik surroundings. The former County did not adopt either a flag or a coat of arms.

The flag is prescribed in Article 7 of the Decision as follows:
The flag of the Zadar County is rectangular, with proportions 1:2 and the hoist along the shorter side. The flag is of two colours in equal ratio of colours, divided with a wavy cut, the top white and the bottom blue. In the middle of the flag is the yellow-golden bordered coat of arms of the County, 2/3 of the shorter flag's side high.

The coat of arms of Zadar County is prescribed in Article 5 of the Decision as follows:
The coat of arms of the County has a shield shape. The shield of arms is divided into two fields. In the blue lower field is the silver/white True Cross church, and in the top, chief, in silver/white field a green olive branch with golden/yellow fruits. The line edging the shield and its elements as well as the parts is black.
The church of the True Cross was built in the 9th century in Nin, today a small town north of Zadar, in old Croatian pre-Romanesque style. In Nin was established in 864 AD the first Diocese on the territory under Croatian rulers. The olive branch represents not only one of the traditional products of the region, but also peace.

The table flag is a vertical flag of the same design as the regular flag, rotating 90 degrees both the stripes and the coat of arms, with a yellow border all around. The coat of arms appears to be slightly larger than on the regular flag. The waves are "inverted", the blue stripes having peaks at the hoist and fly.
