How to Pick Up Property from Forsyth County Sheriff's Office (appointments, hours, and firearms)
Getting your property back from the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office is straightforward once you know the process. Here's what you need: the location, hours, how to schedule an appointment, and special requirements for picking up firearms or ammunition.
The Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office Property & Evidence unit is located at 2314 Keith Bridge Road - Suite B, Cumming, GA 30040.
The Property/Evidence room is open Monday through Thursday, 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Friday hours are shorter: 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM.
I recommend scheduling an appointment before you go. The unit handles a high volume of releases, and calling ahead lets staff prepare your property in advance. Try to give at least 24 hours' notice when you request an appointment. Plan a day ahead, and your pickup will go much smoother.
ID required: Bring a valid government ID to your appointment - it's required for all property pickups.
For questions or to schedule an appointment, call the Property and Evidence Unit at 678.513.5895. Picking up a firearm? You'll need to call this same number to set up that appointment.
- Email your request or question - Send it to evidence@forsythco.com.
- Include the key details - Provide your name, contact information, case number, and a description of the item(s) you’re asking about.
Firearm pickups require an extra step. You must call 678.513.5895 to schedule a specific appointment with the Property and Evidence Unit - walk-ins aren't accepted for firearms.

Practical Tips
- ✓ Bring a valid government ID to your appointment.
- ✓ When you email evidence@forsythco.com, include your name, contact information, case number, and a description of the item(s).
- ✓ Schedule an appointment before you go to pick up property.

Walk-ins can mean waiting. The unit releases a high volume of property, so scheduling ahead is the fastest way to get in and out.
