About each permit
Weights & Measures Commercial Device License
Every business in Delaware County that operates or maintains a weighing, measuring, or scanning device for commercial purposes — fuel dispensers, vehicle tank meters, scales, and PLU/scanning devices among them, reaching the retail-store, auto-repair, restaurant, coffee-shop and food-truck industries — must obtain an annual license for each device from the county's Office of Consumer Affairs, Bureau of Weights and Measures, under Delaware County Code §114-2. Per §114-3, fees run from $10 per timing device up to $125 for 4 or more PLU terminals at one location, with fuel dispensers at $25 per hose, vehicle tank meters at $50 per meter, and scales at $25 or $100 per device depending on capacity — every category capped at $1,000 per location, with a mixed-device location paying the combined total up to that cap. Operating without the required license carries a penalty of up to $500 per violation or up to 30 days' imprisonment under §114-4.
