På raud grunn ein gull liljekross.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on July 22, 1983.
The arms are derived from the arms of Audun Hugleiksson from Hegranes in the present municipality, who died in 1302. He was an important figure in the government in his time. On his seals he used a shield with a rose, surrounded with a bordure of fleur-de-lis. The above arms are derived from this bordure.
Literature : Norwegian Municipal Network and Norske Kommunevåpen, Kommunalforlaget, 1987.
