I fält av silver en blå stolpe, belagd med en liljekonvaljestängel av silver och åtföljd av två utåtriktade blå stridsyxor.

The arms were officially granted in 1963.

The two axes are the symbol for the local patron saint, St. Olaf of Norway. The lily-of-the-valley is taken from the arms of the Stake family, which originates from the area.
