What the benchmark means.

FMR is a gross rent for standard-quality units. A housing agency’s payment standard and rent-reasonableness rules determine how the figure is used. Where Small Area FMRs apply, ZIP-level benchmarks may differ from the county or metro figure.

HUD’s county and Small Area FMR datasets

Good questions. Clear answers.

What is fair market rent in Miami-Dade County for FY 2027?

Does fair market rent include utilities?

Gross rent includes rent and tenant-paid utilities, apart from telephone, cable, and internet. A lease’s contract rent can therefore differ from FMR.

At 30% of gross income, the selected benchmark corresponds to $102,560 a year. This is a budgeting comparison, not a subsidy eligibility rule.
