Forsyth County's open permit data does not publish roofing as a permit class, so PermitKite cannot count roofing permits there. Here is what the data does show, and where roofers can find real leads instead.

Forsyth County's public Building Permits layer lists each residential permit's class (for example mechanical, electrical, plumbing, addition, remodel, new home, pool) and none of the classes is roofing. The layer also has no scope-of-work text, so roof work filed under another class cannot be picked out.
Not as a roofing list. The closest real signals are new homes and additions, which usually include roofing work: 37 new home and 74 addition applications in Forsyth County, GA from Sep 24, 2026 – Oct 21, 2026. PermitKite's DeKalb County roofing page does count re-roofs (33 in the same window), because DeKalb publishes scope text.
