Section 8 Fair Market Rents by county
HUD publishes a Fair Market Rent for each area and home size, from studio to 4 bedrooms. Housing authorities use it to set how much a voucher can pay toward rent.

How the voucher uses this number
90–110%
Payment standard. The housing authority sets one for each home size, anywhere in this range of the Fair Market Rent, without asking HUD.
30%
The family's share. The family generally pays about 30% of its monthly adjusted income; the voucher pays the rest, up to the payment standard.
60 days
Time to find a home. After a voucher is issued, the housing authority gives at least 60 days to find a unit.
