About each permit
Price Verification (Scanner) Inspection Fee
A retail store that rings up prices with barcode scanners is subject to price verification inspection by the Imperial County Sealer of Weights and Measures. The Agricultural Commissioner's Master Fee Schedule (v10.5.26) lists these as 'Price Verification Initial and Reinspection Fees' under BPC 13350: $160.00 per location with 1 to 3 scanners, $205.00 with 4 to 9 scanners, and $270.00 with 10 or more. The schedule states it was adopted under Minute Order No. 20 on July 2, 2024 and Minute Order No. 21 on November 5, 2024, and that fees not set by state law are based on departmental cost studies. This fee is separate from the device registration fees for scales and meters in the device registration record.
Commercial Weighing and Measuring Device Registration
A business that weighs or measures goods for sale — a market or deli selling by weight, a coffee shop selling beans by the pound, or an auto-repair shop that also sells motor fuel through a retail meter — registers each location and each commercial device with the Imperial County Sealer of Weights and Measures. Figures are from the Agricultural Commissioner's Master Fee Schedule (v10.5.26), linked as 'Master Fee Schedule' from the department's Resources page, which states it 'was adopted in accordance with Minute Order No. 20 on July 2, 2024 and Minute Order No. 21 on November 5, 2024' and that the schedule 'can be revised annually or as needed by resolution of the Imperial County Board of Supervisors.' The location fee is $120.00 under BPC 12240(f); each device then carries its own registration fee plus a DMS administrative fee, with the schedule's $1,200.00 cap applying to the capped classes. Larger scales and other devices are listed on the schedule at their own rates.
