NM weights & measures bonds.
$275. Five minutes.
New Mexico requires a registered full-service weights and measures establishment to post a $1,000 bond for faithful performance of duty, filed with the Department of Agriculture. At a flat 3% the math lands below our floor, so this bond is $275 — our minimum premium — with no credit check.

$1,000 bond × 3% = $30, which is below our $275 floor — so the premium is $275 per term. Fixed amount, fixed price, multi-year if you want it.
What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
New Mexico's Weights and Measures Law is enforced by the Department of Agriculture, which registers the service establishments that install, service, repair, and recondition commercial scales, meters, and pumps. A full-service establishment — one that works on devices it does not own — must post a $1,000 surety bond for faithful performance of duty.
The bond is payable to the State of New Mexico and guarantees that the establishment performs its weighing-and-measuring-device work honestly and competently, so that commercial measurements the public relies on are accurate. A limited-service establishment, working only on devices it owns, does not need the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We issue the $1,000 bond at our $275 minimum with no credit check, and track it so your registration filing stays continuous.
