What this means for a protest here
The Colony (Colony 21) sits toward the smaller end of the Denton County neighborhoods in this rollout, and the comparison pool reflects that honestly: 391 nearby parcels had enough recorded data to run through the same comp-based check a homeowner's own address goes through here. Out of that pool, the check found a protest case — meaning it located comparable evidence supporting a lower value — for 50% of them. A smaller comp count didn't translate into a thin case rate: roughly half the evaluable parcels came back with something usable to build a protest packet around.
Look only at the parcels where a case turned up — 194 of them — and the reductions those cases pointed to ranged widely: as low as 0% for some, as high as 37% for others, with the midpoint at 11%. Homes here also aren't priced uniformly per square foot once size is factored in: the comparable set ran from about $66 to $248 per square foot, a spread wide enough to give a homeowner real side-by-side comparables to bring to a protest, not just one flat neighborhood number.
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
How current is the data behind The Colony (Colony 21)'s numbers?
It comes from Denton County's own CAD/ArcGIS parcel export, dated August 1, 2026, and was processed into this snapshot on August 22, 2026. It reflects a single point-in-time pull from the county, not a live feed, so figures here won't move until a newer snapshot is captured and published.
Why isn't there a year-over-year value comparison for this neighborhood?
Denton County has only one ingested snapshot on file so far, so there's no prior-year figure yet to compare the current numbers against. A second snapshot, once captured, is what would make a year-over-year comparison possible.
Does the comparable neighbor count mean every parcel in this neighborhood?
No. It's the subset of parcels here with enough recorded data to run the same comparable-address check a homeowner's own address would get through this tool — not the full parcel list carried under this neighborhood code.
