State Weights and Measures Offices

State Weights and Measures offices enforce laws and regulations about the labeling, weight, measure or count of such packaged items as food and household products. These offices also check the accuracy of weighing and measuring devices, for example, supermarket scales, gasoline pumps, taxicab meters and rental car odometers.

Some city and county offices have weights and measures functions in addition to the state offices listed below. Contact the state office or check our local telephone directory under the governmental listings for your local weights and measures office. The office might be listed under either the city or county bureau of standards, agriculture or consumer protection.
