Fair market rent

What HUD sets for each size

Every year HUD (the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) publishes a Fair Market Rent (FMR) for each home size in San Bernardino County. It is used to work out how much a Section 8 voucher covers. The table shows what you need to earn to pay it without spending more than 30% of income.

The fair market rent covers rent plus basic utilities, except the phone. HUD generally sets it at the 40th percentile: 4 in 10 standard-quality homes rented recently cost less. 24 CFR §888.113(a)

According to Zillow (ZORI), the typical asking rent in San Bernardino County was $2,479 a month in September 2026: 3.1% more than 12 months ago. It is an index of market listings, not a HUD limit. Zillow data

Section 8

The Section 8 voucher in San Bernardino County

The Housing Choice Voucher (Section 8) pays part of your rent on a home you choose. Your public housing agency runs it. 2 agencies serve in San Bernardino County. Here is what the rules say:

The rules, with their source

  1. You apply at the public housing agency. If you qualify, your name usually goes on a waiting list. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or noncitizens with eligible status as HUD defines it. Source: HUD

  2. Generally, your family must have very low income: no more than 50% of the area median income, by family size (the middle column of the table). Source: 24 CFR §5.603, §982.201(b)

  3. Each year, at least 75% of the families an agency admits from its list must have extremely low income (the 30% column). Source: 24 CFR §982.201(b)(2)

  4. If the rent is below the payment standard, the family generally pays 30% of its adjusted monthly income. If it is above, the family pays more. Source: 24 CFR §982.1(a)(3)

  5. When you move in, if the rent is above the payment standard, your share cannot go over 40% of your adjusted monthly income. Source: 24 CFR §982.508

  6. Each agency sets a payment standard for each size. Without asking HUD, it can go from 90% to 110% of the fair market rent. Source: 24 CFR §982.503(b), (c)

What helps

  • Ask for a receipt for every payment and keep a copy of the lease.
  • On move-in day, walk through the home and take dated photos.
  • Never send money for a home you haven't seen or a lease you haven't read.

This is a planning estimate, not a price. What you are asked for depends on the landlord, your lease and your state's and city's rules. It is not legal advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is the fair market rent in San Bernardino County?

According to HUD (Fiscal year 2027): Studio: $1,605; 1 bedroom: $1,705; 2 bedrooms: $2,103; 3 bedrooms: $2,771; 4 bedrooms: $3,336. It covers rent plus basic utilities, except the phone.

How much do you need to earn to rent in San Bernardino County?

Paying the 2-bedroom fair market rent ($2,103) without spending more than 30% of income takes $40.44 an hour full time, or $84,120 a year.

Who qualifies for Section 8 in San Bernardino County?

Generally, families with very low income: no more than 50% of the area median income. For 4 people, HUD's limit here is $61,500 a year (Fiscal year 2026). The family usually pays 30% of its adjusted monthly income. You apply at the housing agency.

How much does Section 8 pay in San Bernardino County?

The voucher pays up to your housing agency's payment standard, minus your share. The rule lets the agency set it between 90% and 110% of the fair market rent: for 2 bedrooms here, between $1,893 and $2,313 a month. Your agency publishes its figure.

Does the fair market rent change by ZIP code in San Bernardino County?

For 2 bedrooms they run from $1,870 in 92301 to $3,150 in 91784. Where HUD designates these areas, or where the housing agency chooses to use them, the voucher is figured on the ZIP code's rent instead of the county's. Ask your agency which one it uses.

How many low-income apartments are there in San Bernardino County?

HUD lists 153 properties with homes for low-income households in San Bernardino County: tax-credit apartments (LIHTC), HUD-assisted buildings and public housing. They run from the most low-income homes to the fewest. For tax-credit apartments and HUD-assisted buildings, you apply directly at the building's management office. They tell you whether units are open and how to apply; HUD does not have that information.

How many households spend too much on rent in San Bernardino County?

HUD counts rent as a burden when it reaches 30% of income or more. In San Bernardino County, 59% of renter households are in that position; in California, 55%, and nationwide, 51% (Average 2020–2024, Census).
