Shield parted per fess, above Argent parted by a centred cross Gules, beneath Sable a rowing boat Argent with two oars Or in pale.
Meaning:
The upper part displays the arms of the Archbishopric of Trier, to which the village historically belonged. The name of the municipality is drived from "overvare", which is a ferry ride. The ferry connected Urbar and Neuendorf. The rowing boat is thus canting.

French shield parted per pale; at dexter Gules a lion rampant guardant Or, armed and tongued Azure; at sinister Argent parted by a centred cross Gules, mural crown Argent with three visible towers.
Meaning:
Vallendar had been a condominion of the Counts of Sayn and the Archbishops of Trier. The oldest seal of lay judges in the 14th century displayed either the cross of Trier or the lion of Sayn, connected with their patron saints, St. Marcellinus and St .Peter. Between 1681 and 1767 the archbishopric gained complete control over the city. The current arms are symbolising the former circumstances. Vallendar gained city rights in 1856.

Shield parted per fess; above Gules a demi-lion rampant guardant issuant Or, armed and tongued Azure; beneath Or a Roman cottage Gules.
Meaning:
The upper half is a differentiation of the arms of the Counts of Sayn, who endowed the Premonstratensian Sayn Abbey in 1202. The cottage is representing a Roman estate, which was rediscovered in 1896.
