Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and golden scroll with inscription in black capitals "BALASAR".
Meaning:
The house probably is the house, where Alexandrina Maria da Costa (30 March 1904 - 13 October 1955), also known as Blessed Alexandrina of Balazar, was born. It is a national monument. Read more about that woman at English WIKIPEDIA!

The coat of arms probably can't be approved by Comissão de Heráldica da Associação dos Arqueólogos Portugueses (CHAAP), as it is using nearly exclusively metals (Argent and Or).
