62,000 Acres Remaining

A geographic analysis of land availability and current tax records shows that of Forsyth County’s 201,000 acres of Serviceable Land Area: 48% are considered developed; 10% are designated as public rights-of-way; 4% are used for parks, recreation or schools; and 7% are located within undevelopable floodplains. The total amount of land for these classifications is approximately 138,600 acres, which is 69% of the total Serviceable Land Area. This leaves approximately 62,000 acres (31%) as “available,” for future development.
