How to Visit Forsynth County Jail (GA)

You can add money to an inmate's commissary account online through the Jail ATM website. The process is simple: create an account (if you don't already have one), choose the "send money now" option, and follow the prompts to complete your deposit.

Need to visit the Property & Evidence room? Plan around their posted hours. Monday through Thursday, they're open 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM.

Fridays are shorter. The Property & Evidence room closes at 4:00 PM instead of 6:00 PM (still opens at 7:30 AM).

Picking up a firearm involves extra steps beyond a typical property release. You'll need to call ahead to schedule, and Property & Evidence will run a criminal history check. Have the following ready when you call: your full legal name, date of birth, Social Security number, and citizenship status. You'll also need a valid government-issued ID at pickup.

1. Create a Jail ATM account: Set up your account first if you do not already have one.
2. Choose “send money now”: Use the site’s “send money now” option.
3. Follow the prompts to complete the deposit: Enter the required details and finish the transaction as directed on-screen.

• ✓ Schedule a Property & Evidence appointment before you go. Appointments are recommended, and 24-hour notice is preferred.
• ✓ Bring a valid government-issued ID (it’s required for all Property & Evidence appointments).
• ✓ Go during posted hours: Monday through Thursday 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM, or Friday 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM.

1. Call to schedule the appointment: Contact Property & Evidence at 678-513-5895 to set a time.
2. Prepare your required information: You’ll need your full legal name, date of birth, Social Security number, and citizenship status.

Before heading over, confirm the current Property & Evidence hours and appointment expectations. Posted hours are Monday through Thursday 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM and Friday 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM. The jail also says appointments are recommended with 24-hour notice preferred, but schedules and procedures can change.

For online commissary deposits, make sure you're on the correct Jail ATM site and that your account setup is complete before sending money. Also worth confirming: accepted payment methods, any deposit limits, and whether there are timing holds that could delay when funds show up.
