Description of the flag

A Wikipedia photo shows a white flag with a thin blue border and the county seal centered on it, hoisted along the state and national
flags at the DeKalb County Legislative Center, seated in the Sycamore Complex of the DeKalb County Government.

The county seal is at http://dekalbcounty.org/IMAGES/logo.gif and http://dekalbcounty.org/images/DeKalbCo%20Seal%20camera%20ready.jpg in the county website; there is a page about "History of the DeKalb County Seal"; it states that this emblem was created in 1981 and includes a detailed description of its elements and their symbolism; it doesn't refer to the flag. Indeed  the only reference to the county flag I found in the county website is in a January 2006 meeting report about payment claims: The county's General Fund got 44 USD for a County Flag.
