Overview

Grubišno Polje is a city in the Bjelovar and Bilogora County, 30 km southeast of Bjelovar, about 10,000 inhabitants, 3,500 in the town of the same name. So far I found no info except for the bad quality Coat of Arms drawing on the County web site at <www.bbz.hr>.
The Coat of Arms is in green shield picturing a helment with a mantle and a crest (not sure what the crest should represent).

The city web site at <www.grubisno-polje.hr> give somewhat better image of the Coat of Arms.

It seems that the city flag might be yellow with the Coat of Arms in the middle, as is suggested from a small table flag in left end of the photo at <www.grubisno-polje.hr>. However, this is too small to be sure what it is, even if it is highly likely.

The web site of Grubišno Polje now contains the statutes that include the description of the Coat of Arms and the flag: Statut Grada Grubišnog Polja, 2. veljace 2006, 09.09.2007.  
This is certainly not the document adopting the symbols, however. As we already knew the Coat of Arms is, now with more detailed description: vert a jousting helmet mantled gules and or, issuant from it a vrigin clead gules with wings displayed or and crowned of the same.
The Statutes claim that this is the historical coat of arms of Grubišno Polje, but there is no other confirmation for this - I honestly doubt it very much.
The flag is yellow with the coat of arms in the middle.

The new 2009 Statutes of Grubišno Polje includes in its Artcle 5 virtually equal, although not entirely word-for-word, description of the Coat of Arms and the flag as in teh Article 4 of the previous 2006 Statutes: Statut Grada Grubišnog Polja, 29.06.2009, Službeni glasnik Grada Grubišnog Polja, br. 6/2009.
Also, a new decision on the Coat of Arms and the flag was adopted in 2009, invalidating a previous (undated in the 2009 decision) statutory decision on the Coat of Arms and the flag - retaining, no doubt, the same description as the previous decision: Odluka o grbu i zastavi Grada Grubišnog Polja, 22.10.2009, Službeni glasnik Grada Grubišnog Polja, br. ?/2009.
