The Municipality of Sremski Karlovci uses lesser and greater arms and a flag. The arms were adopted in 2004 on the basis of a competition for the design of arms, and were produced by the academic painter from Sremski Karlovci Marija Davidović. On the shield is the Archangel Michael with a sword before a silver church with two towers, above water, and in the greater arms the shield is supported by two gold griffins beneath a red crown. The flag is white, with a frame of red, blue and white triangles and the arms in the centre, and a table flag is also in use.
