Suffolk County Division of Weights and Measures (within Consumer Affairs)

Weights and Measures Device Inspection (conditional)

No standalone license fee applies to a general retail store under this program. Suffolk County's Division of Weights and Measures inspects all weighing and measuring devices used for commercial purposes — including retail scales — and checks packaged commodities for net-weight compliance, an inspection-based oversight duty rather than a discrete license-to-operate. A retail store using a commercial scale (for example, a deli counter or bulk-goods scale) should expect periodic inspection, but no fee schedule for general retail is published; fee schedules exist for other regulated categories such as precious-metals dealers and gas stations, which are outside the scope of a general retail store. Treat this as a conditional inspection duty, not a licensing requirement, for any of the 10 target industries operating a commercial scale.
