About this bond

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, and the premium is fixed too: $100, with the application collecting no credit information.

Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 40-15-2-.05The Georgia Department of Agriculture, Fuel & Measures Division registers servicemen and service agencies for commercial weighing and measuring devices under Ga. Comp. R. & Regs. 40-15-2-.05, which conditions registration on a $1,000 surety bond. The bond backs the accuracy and compliance of devices a registered serviceman installs, repairs, or reconditions. Confirm the current bond form with the Department.
