How much Section 8 can pay by bedroom size in Texas
Your voucher pays the lower of the gross rent and your agency’s payment standard, minus your total tenant payment; the standard is the one for the smaller of your voucher size and the unit’s bedrooms. Standards are normally set at 90% to 110% of HUD’s published fair market rent for the area. Texas’s FY2027 two-bedroom fair market rent runs from $1,014 in Baylor County, TX and 61 other areas to $1,817 in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX MSA; three bedrooms, $1,208 in Donley County, TX and 6 other areas to $2,292 in Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX MSA.
