The symbols of Podcrkavlje are prescribed by Decision Odluka o grbu i zastavi općine Podcrkavlje, adopted on 23 April 1998 by the Municipality Assembly and published on 15 May 1998 in the County official gazette Službeni vjesnik Brodsko-posavske županije, No. 4.
The symbols are described in the Municipal Statutes Statut općine Podcrkavlje, adopted on 22 December 2005 and published on 23 December 2005 in Službeni vjesnik Brodsko-posavske županije, No. 22, repeating the Municipal Statutes Statut općine Podcrkavlje, adopted on 26 September 2001 and published on 31 October 2001 in Službeni vjesnik Brodsko-posavske županije, No. 10, and the Statutory Amendment Odluka o izmjenama i dopunama Statuta općine Podcrkavlje, adopted on 18 June 1998 and published on 24 July 1998 in Službeni vjesnik Brodsko-posavske županije, No. 5.

The coat of arms is "Gules in the base a masoned lime kiln with semi-circular doors with flame or issuant and in the chief two arrows argent in saltire with arrowheads downwards".
This must represent the traditional industry of Podcrkavlje, lime production.
