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 Okmulgee County that is typically $829 to $1,013 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 Okmulgee County (FY2026)

Income limits decide who qualifies for Section 8 vouchers, public housing and most HUD-assisted units. The area median family income is $72,600 (FY2025: $74,100, −2.0%). 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%)	$15,960 +2.0%	$21,640 +2.3%	$27,320 +2.5%	$33,000 +2.6%	$38,680 +2.7%	$44,050 +2.3%	$47,100 +2.3%	$50,100 +2.2%
Very low income (50%)	$26,600 +2.3%	$30,400 +2.4%	$34,200 +2.4%	$37,950 +2.3%	$41,000 +2.2%	$44,050 +2.3%	$47,100 +2.3%	$50,100 +2.2%
Low income (80%)	$42,500 +2.3%	$48,600 +2.3%	$54,650 +2.2%	$60,700 +2.3%	$65,600 +2.3%	$70,450 +2.3%	$75,300 +2.3%	$80,150 +2.3%

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.
