GA weighing & measuring bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
A Georgia scale mechanic or service agency that installs, repairs, or reconditions commercial weighing and measuring devices registers with the Department of Agriculture and files a $1,000 bond. At 3% that is $30, so it lands at our $275 minimum — no credit check.

What it is and who needs it.
What the serviceman bond guarantees
Georgia requires anyone who installs, repairs, services, or reconditions commercial weighing and measuring devices — retail and industrial scales, fuel pumps, moisture meters — to register with the Department of Agriculture under its Fuel & Measures rules (Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 40-15-2-.05). Registration includes filing a $1,000 bond.
The bond is a public-protection guarantee: commercial weighing devices set rates and charges that consumers and businesses rely on, so the state wants a financial backstop that a registered serviceman calibrates and certifies them accurately and follows the rules.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. The amount is fixed at $1,000, so the price is fixed too. We issue it at our $275 minimum with no credit check.
