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 Madison 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.

Is this the rent a voucher will cover?

Not necessarily. Housing agencies set payment standards and assess rent reasonableness; Small Area FMRs and exception standards may also apply.

How much income do I need for this rent?

At 30% of gross income, the selected benchmark corresponds to $46,360 a year. This is a budgeting comparison, not a subsidy eligibility rule.

When does FY 2027 start?

The imported HUD FY 2027 rent schedule takes effect October 1, 2026. Fiscal-year labels differ from calendar years.
