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 Comanche County that is typically $877 to $1,071 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 Comanche County (FY2026)

Income limits decide who qualifies for Section 8 vouchers, public housing and most HUD-assisted units. The area median family income is $79,600 (FY2025: $74,500, +6.8%). 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%)	$16,750 +7.0%	$21,640 +2.3%	$27,320 +2.5%	$33,000 +2.6%	$38,680 +2.7%	$44,360 +2.8%	$49,400 +6.9%	$52,550 +6.8%
Very low income (50%)	$27,900 +6.9%	$31,850 +6.9%	$35,850 +6.9%	$39,800 +6.8%	$43,000 +6.8%	$46,200 +6.8%	$49,400 +6.9%	$52,550 +6.8%
Low income (80%)	$44,600 +6.8%	$51,000 +6.9%	$57,350 +6.9%	$63,700 +6.9%	$68,800 +6.8%	$73,900 +6.9%	$79,000 +6.8%	$84,100 +6.9%

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.
