The coat of arms of Jardinópolis features an horizontal scroll inscribed with the date of emancipation of the municipality, 20 March 1992, in black letters on a red scroll with the toponym "JARDINÓPOLIS".
The red scroll's external part supports a maize plant with a ripe cob, yellow spikes of ripe wheat, plants of beans with ripe pods, characterizing the municipality's main crops.
The shield features the main sources of income in Jardinópolis, arranged in three rectangles.
1 - In the upper white rectangle, in the left part a sowing farmer wearing gray trousers and a red shirt, in the right part, a red tractor.
2 - In the central, yellow rectangle, two heads of bovine and pig, respectively, representing animal breeding, and two poultry birds, representing aviculture.
3 - On top of the lower, white rectangle, two plants of tobacco, another crop in Jardinópolis. In the rectangle's center, two Brazilian pines symbolizing rainforest and reforestation, with three logs below. A semi-circle shaped like a cogwheel representing industry.
In the center of the upper rectangles, a circle inscribing a hand and a tree seedling, as a symbol of reforestation, whose characteristic design also alludes to gardening, the town's namesake.
The crown surmounting the coat of arms, gray, with three towers outlined in grayish black and three red gates outlined in black, refers to liberty, union and commitment. The three red gates characterize liberty and equality between citizens, the town and the government.
