Bucks County Office of Consumer Protection, Weights & Measures

Weights & Measures Commercial Device License/Permit

Every Bucks County business that operates or maintains a commercial weighing, measuring or scanning device — a fuel dispenser, vehicle tank meter, scale or PLU device among them, reaching the retail-store, auto-repair, restaurant, coffee-shop and food-truck industries — must obtain an annual license or permit for each device from the county's Weights & Measures program under Ordinance No. 165 §2, with a $200 fine per violation under §6. The dollar amount of that annual fee is not published in any public source: Ordinance 165 §4 delegates the figure to a separate Board of Commissioners resolution rather than setting it in the ordinance itself, and the county's own current Device Inventory Form confirms a fee is genuinely charged by stating that invoices for this registration are sent to businesses in the early part of each year, while noting the form itself is not an invoice. A business should contact the Office of Consumer Protection/Weights & Measures directly for the current per-device amount.
