Use carefully

One stale 2023 sentence sits above a current 2025 table

This page stays public because the official structure is still useful, but these details should not be flattened into fake certainty.

The parish page still contains one old 2023 sentence, but the actual income table on the same page is labeled 2025. Buyers should rely on the current table values and confirm current intake limits with the parish before contract.
