Weights and Measures

Welcome

The City of Oshkosh’s Weights and Measures program is responsible for regularly monitoring the accuracy of gas pumps, price scanners, scales and package weights to ensure that consumers are receiving their money’s worth in City of Oshkosh stores.

To accomplish the program’s purpose, the City of Oshkosh employs a City Sealer of Weights and Measures to inspect for compliance and advise local businesses on the laws and codes governing statewide weights and measures programs.

The Weights and Measures program can be broken down into three major components:

• Scanners and Price Verification
• Weight and Measure Devices (retail scales, fuel pumps, timing devices, etc.)
• Packaging and Method of Sale

Permit Application

The City of Oshkosh permits and/or seals all of the devices that it inspects and tests. Permits are issued and expire June 30 annually. Businesses should contact the weights and measures inspection office to verify the device or devices operated are appropriately permitted. Click here for the permit application.
