The Municipality of Stara Pazova uses arms in three levels — greater, middle and lesser — and a banner, whose author is the heraldist Dragomir Acović. The shield is divided by a complex stepped line, recalling the fronts of traditional Srem houses, into blue and silver, with a green and gold striped base, and over the field are a gold sceptre and a crossed shepherd's crook and sword. The middle arms are set on a dark oval field with the name of the municipality and surrounded by gold oak sprigs, and the greater arms are supported by two black horses with the flag of Serbia and the municipal banner. Besides the banner, which repeats the upper part of the shield, a white flag with the greater arms in the centre is also used.
