I blått fält en öppnad hovtång av silver med en nitklinga på högra skänkelspetsen och en nåddorn på den vänstra samt däröver en ginstam av silver, belagd med tre bjälkvis ordnade högerhälfter av blå liljor. Origin/meaning The arms were officially granted on June 1, 1956. The pliers are taken from the seal of the Våla hundred, known since 1604. The chief shows three demi-fleur-de-lys, which are taken from the arms of the Tigerhielm family, who had several mansions and possessions in the area, and thus played a major role in the local history and development.
