Property tax returns in record number

Hmm... I never even thought about doing this...

A record number of people are filing a little-known document called a tax return with their property appraiser's office, asking for a lower value on their appraisal, and thereby, a break on their property taxes.

The filing period opened in January and already Gwinnett County has received more than 3,400 residential and commercial tax returns, said Steve Pruitt, the county's chief appraiser. He expects a total of 15,000 to 20,000 and said he's hiring data workers to process all of the returns.
