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 $100 flat; the application collects no credit information, and we track it so your registration filing stays continuous.
