Shield Vert with base wavy Argent and Azure barrully wavy of four, three mediterranean broom branches Or, conjoined at their proximal ends per pale and per saltire and tied with a ribbon Gules, in chief two bees Or. Mural crown Argent with three visible towers (village rank) and white scroll reading in black upper case serifed letters "CODESSOSOodessoso"
Meaning:
The word "codeçoso" can be interpreted to mean "broomful", from "codeço", one of the Portuguese common names for the plant Adenocarpus complicatus — therefore this coat of arms is partly canting. Bees stand for honey, waves stand for water.

The arms probably are completely unofficial.
