What this means for a protest here

Price per square foot inside Seventeen Lakes ranges from $2 up to $306 — a spread wide enough that no single average price tells you much about what a fair comparison looks like here. The typical home in this neighborhood sits at about 2,613 square feet, so any comparison that lines up raw appraised values side by side, without adjusting for size, is comparing very different houses. Seventeen Lakes is also tracked by Denton County under two separate appraisal codes, SJ1172A and SJ1165A, merged here into one neighborhood view — another reason a size-adjusted, apples-to-apples comparison matters more than a flat neighborhood average.

Running every one of the 1,414 parcels here through the same size-adjusted comparison used for a single address, 1,326 had enough nearby comparable homes to evaluate. Of those, 52% showed a case for further review. Among the parcels where a case turned up, the computed size-adjusted difference ranged from a fraction of a percent up to 17%, with the middle half falling between 1% and 5%. None of that tells you what your own address will show — it tells you the underlying comparisons in this neighborhood have real range, which is the condition a size-adjusted comparison is built to use.

How filing a protest actually works

Your deadline to file a written protest is whichever comes later: May 15, or the 30th day after your appraisal district delivers your notice of appraised value. There's no single date that applies to everyone — it depends on when your own notice arrives, not a date any page can print in advance.

A protest based on unequal appraisal compares your property against similar, nearby homes in this same neighborhood. LoneStarLower prepares that comparison and the supporting materials; it does not file the protest, negotiate with the appraisal district, or represent you at a hearing. You file it, using Form 50-132 or an equivalent written notice, with your county's appraisal district office — not the Texas Comptroller, which doesn't handle individual protests. You attend the hearing and present the evidence yourself.

Questions about this data

Why is the price per square foot range so wide in Seventeen Lakes?

Per Denton County's appraisal data (sourced August 1, 2026), per-square-foot values across Seventeen Lakes' 1,414 parcels run from $2 to $306. Seventeen Lakes also combines two separate appraisal-district codes, SJ1172A and SJ1165A, into one neighborhood page, which happens where a county's own neighborhood coding splits one built area into more than one code.

Of the 1,414 parcels in Seventeen Lakes, 1,326 had enough nearby comparable homes to run through the size-adjusted comparison, per Denton County's appraisal data as of August 1, 2026.

Does that mean my home has a case?
