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 Duval 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 Duval County was $1,603 a month in September 2026: 2.5% more than 12 months ago. It is an index of market listings, not a HUD limit. Zillow data

Frequently asked questions
What is the fair market rent in Duval County?
According to HUD (Fiscal year 2027): Studio: $1,401; 1 bedroom: $1,421; 2 bedrooms: $1,694; 3 bedrooms: $2,077; 4 bedrooms: $2,594. It covers rent plus basic utilities, except the phone.
How much do you need to earn to rent in Duval County?
Paying the 2-bedroom fair market rent ($1,694) without spending more than 30% of income takes $32.58 an hour full time, or $67,760 a year.
Who qualifies for Section 8 in Duval County?
Generally, families with very low income: no more than 50% of the area median income. For 4 people, HUD's limit here is $54,350 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 Duval 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 $1,525 and $1,863 a month. Your agency publishes its figure.
Does the fair market rent change by ZIP code in Duval County?
For 2 bedrooms they run from $1,150 in 32206 to $2,540 in 32226. 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 Duval County?
HUD lists 134 properties with homes for low-income households in Duval 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 Duval County?
HUD counts rent as a burden when it reaches 30% of income or more. In Duval County, 56% of renter households are in that position; in Florida, 60%, and nationwide, 51% (Average 2020–2024, Census).
