The coat of arms of Cózar is prescribed by an Order issued on 26 November 1990 by the Government of Castilla-La Mancha and published on 30 November 1990 in the official gazette of Castille-La Mancha, No. 88, p. 3,836 (text).
The coat of arms is described as follows:

Coat of arms: Spanish shield. Argent a cross-sword of the Military Order of Saint-James gules. A bordure gules eight castles or port and windows azure masoned sable. The shield surmounted by a Royal crown closed.

The cross-sword recalls that Cózar belonged to the Order of Saint-James. In 1275, Grand Master Pelayo Pérez Correa transferred the place to Montiel. Philip II granted in 1554 the status of villa to Cózar. The castles represent the old Kingdom of Castile.
