The symbols of Vrbovsko are prescribed by Decision Odluka o grbu i zastavi Grada Vrbovskog, adopted on 13 July 1998 by the Town Assembly and published on 4 August 1998 in the County official gazette Službene novine Primorsko-goranske županije, No. 16.

The symbols were adopted in a public contest set up by Decision Odluka o raspisivanju natjecaja za izradu idejnog rješenja grba i zastave Grada Vrbovskog, adopted on 12 December 1997 and published on 29 December 1997 in Službene novine Primorsko-goranske županije, No. 29. The Commission to evaluate the proposals was appointed by Decision Rješenje o imenovanju Komisije za odabir najboljeg idejnog rješenja grba i zastave Grada Vrbovskog, adopted on 12 December 1997 and published on 29 December 1997 in Službene novine Primorsko-goranske županije, No. 29.
The Town Statutes Statut Grada Vrbovskog, adopted on 10 October 2001 and published on 26 October 2001 in Službene novine Primorsko-goranske županije, No. 26, describe the symbols. The description is repeated word for word in the consolidated Town Statutes Statut Grada Vrbovskoa (pročišćeni tekst), adopted on 3 March 2008 and published on 14 March 2008 in Službene novine Primorsko-goranske županije, No. 8, and in the current Statutes Statut Grada Vrbovskog, adopted on 16 July 2009 and published on 20 July 2009 in Službene novine Primorsko-goranske županije, No. 27.
The symbols were designed by the Heraldic Art d.o.o. company, from Rijeka.

The coat of arms is "Per fess or an eagle displayed sable beaked, langued and membered gules and azure a bridge between two cliffs argent".
According to Oštrić [osg02], Vrbovsko was granted civic status and a coat of arms at the same time in 1785 by Emperor Joseph II. The grant of arms includes the rich painting of the coat of arms within a circular annulet and a baroque landscape scene, but the main part of the arms was the same as today.
