In Sec. 1-4-10. of the County Code is a description of the seal. It was adopted into the code on December 28, 2000.

"A seal, the impression of which shall contain in the center images of a sugar beet, an oil lamp, a cow and a sheaf of wheat, with the words 'Weld County' and the year '1861' arranged in a circle surrounding the images, shall be and hereby is declared to be the Seal of the County. Pursuant to Paragraph 3-7(2) of the Charter, the Clerk to the Board is the custodian of the County Seal. Use of the Seal shall be reserved for attestation of signature by all five (5) Commissioners or for signature by the Chair, as authorized by the Board of County Commissioners, and for display on the County flag."

Note that the seal's description approves its use on the county flag.
