About each permit
Commercial Weighing and Measuring Device Registration
County Code §4.36.030 says 'No person shall use any weighing or measuring instrument for commercial purposes without having a current annual registration certificate for such instrument', and that the certificate is in addition to any other license or permit the county requires. A store, coffee shop or restaurant that sells goods by weight or measure therefore registers its commercial scales or meters with the county Sealer; a business with no commercial device has nothing to register. The amounts shown are as listed on the Stanislaus County Department of Agriculture / Weights & Measures 2026-2027 Fee Schedule (effective July 1, 2026), which defines a business location as a location with at least one commercial device, or each vehicle containing one; the Board adopted Ordinance C.S. 1411 amending Agricultural Commissioner fees on 19 May 2026. Business and Professions Code §12240(f), which County Code §4.36.060 cites, also provides for a department administrative fee under §12241 that the county schedule does not list, so the location and device fees above are not the complete registration charge.
