The arms are Argent between a pine tree and an orange tree both Vert trunked and erradicated Sable and fruited Or a bend wavy Azure charged with three fish Argent. Mural crown argent with four visible towers (town rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case letters "SEVER DO VOUGA".
Meaning:
"Vouga is a river that crosses this municipality, so the bend and fish are canting. ("Sever" has no common meaning.)
