Municipality of Bački Petrovac

South Bačka District, Region of Vojvodina

The Municipality of Bački Petrovac uses arms in the shape of a shield with hops in a blue chief and a white building on a green and gold field; the arms were recorded in that form in 2022. The earlier arms, derived from a seal of 1787, were granted in 1998 and showed a peasant with a scythe. Those arms and the municipal flag with a swallow-tail were published in the Heraldic Register of the Slovak Republic (II, 2001).
