What can a landlord charge a Section 8 tenant here?
The FMR is not a cap on what you can ask on the open market. For a Housing Choice Voucher tenant, the local housing authority sets a payment standard, normally between 90% and 110% of the FMR (or of the ZIP-level Small Area FMR where those apply). For a two-bedroom unit in New Castle County that is typically $1,674 to $2,046 including utilities. You can charge more than the payment standard if the rent passes the housing authority's rent-reasonableness test and, at move-in, the tenant's share stays within 40% of their adjusted monthly income. Ask the housing authority for its current payment standard schedule.

HUD income limits for New Castle County (FY2026)
Income limits decide who qualifies for Section 8 vouchers, public housing and most HUD-assisted units. The area median family income is $122,700 (FY2025: $119,400, +2.8%). Small figures under each limit show the change from FY2025.
| Household size | 1 person | 2 people | 3 people | 4 people | 5 people | 6 people | 7 people | 8 people |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Extremely low income (30%) | $25,800 +2.8% | $29,450 +2.8% | $33,150 +2.8% | $36,800 +2.8% | $39,750 +2.7% | $44,360 +2.8% | $50,040 +2.9% | $55,720 +2.9% |
| Very low income (50%) | $42,950 +2.8% | $49,100 +2.7% | $55,250 +2.8% | $61,350 +2.8% | $66,300 +2.8% | $71,200 +2.7% | $76,100 +2.8% | $81,000 +2.7% |
| Low income (80%) | $68,750 +2.8% | $78,550 +2.8% | $88,350 +2.8% | $98,150 +2.8% | $106,050 +2.8% | $113,900 +2.8% | $121,750 +2.8% | $129,600 +2.8% |
The 30% limit is HUD's “extremely low income” limit: the higher of 30% of median income or the federal poverty guideline, but never above the 50% limit. That is why it can rise faster than 30% of median for larger households. Tax-credit (LIHTC) properties use separate Multifamily Tax Subsidy Project limits.
