The City of Šabac uses arms in three levels — basic, middle and greater — and a flag, which by regulation is a square heraldic banner but also appears in other proportions. The insignia were adopted on 9 February 2001 and prescribed by the municipal statute, and the author of the arms is the heraldist Dragomir Acović. On the blue shield is a silver fortress with three towers on a silver wavy bar, with a lily and a sheaf of wheat; the middle arms have a mural crown and a half-wreath of field lilies, and the greater arms two black horses as supporters and three war decorations beneath the ribbon. The flag is an asymmetrical blue-white-red tricolour with wavy lines of division and a white flower in the upper corner next to the lance.
Blazon
On a blue field a silver fortress with three round crenellated towers, the middle one the tallest, rises from a lowered silver wavy bar; each tower has a conical gold roof and a row of three arched windows. Before the middle tower is a tall silver portal with an arched gate, between the gate and the side towers runs a gold palisade wall of wattle, and from the gate a gold bridge leads across the bar. In the dexter upper corner is a silver lily in bloom with gold stamens, and at the base of the shield a gold sheaf of wheat tied with a red ribbon.
A gold mural crown with four visible crenellations, in the middle and greater arms.
Two black horses rampant with gold hooves, manes and tails and red tongues; the dexter holds a crimson lance shod with gold with the banner of Serbia, the sinister a like lance with the banner of Šabac, both banners fringed with gold. Behind the supporters are gold sheaves of wheat tied with tricolour ribbons.
A grassy field overgrown with meadow lilies, slightly raised in the centre to give the shield support.
A pink ribbon with the silver inscription “ШАБАЦ”, beneath which hang three decorations awarded to the city, each on its prescribed ribbon: in the centre the Order of the Star of Karađorđe with Swords, 4th class, on the dexter the French Croix de Guerre 1914–1918, and on the sinister the Czechoslovak War Cross 1914–1918. In the middle arms the shield is embraced from below by a half-wreath of field lilies in natural colours, tied with the Serbian tricolour, and beneath it is the same pink ribbon with the name of the city.
An asymmetrical horizontal tricolour of blue, white and red with wavy dividing lines, in which the blue occupies about three quarters of the height, with a white flower in the upper corner next to the lance; it is used in the proportion 2:3 and in other proportions, and there is also a vertical white flag with the greater arms, which also serves as a table flag.
A square flag of the same pattern: a broad blue field, then wavy white and red stripes at the bottom, with a white flower with yellow stamens, a stem and two leaves, in the upper corner next to the lance. The flower is a natural field lily, not the heraldic fleur-de-lis.
