The coat of arms was adopted after becoming a free municipality again, on 1 January 2005. It was designed by Rodrigo Pérez Candelas, a local graphic artist. It was adopted through a call for submissions from the council, where submissions were received from other places in the area. At the top, an image of the entrance to a church signifying the foundation of the Santa María de la Limpia Concepción church in 1542, bearing at the top a fleur-de-lis for the faith. In its doorway, the shape of corn as harvested by the Tochos Indians. To the sides, scrolls. At the bottom, scrolls that read 1869 (first time becoming a municipality) and 2005 (current time being a municipality); 1542 its foundation year, in the center of these. The wings to their sides denote progressing forward. At the bottom, in a ribbon, the motto "LA PAZ NOS CONDUCE AL ÉXITO" [Peace Leads us to Success].

In the center of the shield, a band cuts across reading PERSEVERA over 9 dots for its communities. The upper-right dot depicts a human head and hand, signifying the most important part of the municipality; they represent the mind and work respectively. To its left, an Izote flower signifying the Izote Dam. To the bottom-left, an evergreen oak, colored, and deciduous oak leaf for its diversity in flora in an oval. To its right, an oval that depicts a corn plant and head of cattle; for agriculture and cattle-raising respectively.
