The council informed me they do not use a municipal flag.

The council informed me their coat of arms was approved in Council Session No. 33 on 5 February 1993, being presented by Prof. Roberto Berrones Montes, Municipal Chronicler and director of the House of Culture in the Municipality, to the council. Previously, in Council Session No. 26 of 6 November 1992, a suggestion was received that Jalpan de Serra adopt its own municipal coat of arms; it was also agreed here that the Municipal Chronicler would design it; with the motive being that it was hoped that the design would be completed in a short amount of time and the fact that there was no call for submissions and the regional fair was getting closer to its start. The coat of arms has an oval format, and has a Franciscan cord as its border, symbolizing the Franciscans that evangelized the region. The upper part symbolizes the construction of the Santiago de Jalpan and Tacoyol Missions, with the Sierra Gorda mountains in the background. Under this is a rectangle over another, reading in the upper one its name: JALPAN DE SERRA. Below this, a crowned double-headed eagle eating a serpent in both of its heads represents the fusion of two races (Indian and Spaniards). Below this, the symbol of the Franciscans is placed (red cross and two hands, one bare and another clothed). Including the sword under this symbol, this represents the evangelization and the conquest. To the left, a representation of a Cachúm for "idolatry" (a local god of the Pame people of the region) holding the sun.
