Coat of Arms

image by Tomislav Šipek, 23 December 2015

I rødt en gull plog. Gules a plough or.
Approved by the royal resolution of 21 November 1986 after a drawing by Arvid Sveen. [c2j87]
A plough, of course, designate the municipality as an agricultural one. It could have been used by very many units all over, but as [c2j87] explains, the plough is signifying Balsfjord as the bordering municiplality for grain - the traditional grain production, and thus also plough, was impossible northern from a line passing through Balsfjord.
