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 Juab County that is typically $1,227 to $1,499 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 Juab County (FY2026)

Income limits decide who qualifies for Section 8 vouchers, public housing and most HUD-assisted units. The area median family income is $119,200 (FY2025: $118,700, +0.4%). 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%)	$25,050 +0.4%	$28,600 +0.4%	$32,200 +0.5%	$35,750 +0.4%	$38,680 +0.6%	$44,360 +2.8%	$50,040 +2.9%	$55,720 +2.9%
Very low income (50%)	$41,750 +0.5%	$47,700 +0.4%	$53,650 +0.4%	$59,600 +0.4%	$64,400 +0.5%	$69,150 +0.4%	$73,950 +0.5%	$78,700 +0.4%
Low income (80%)	$66,750 +0.4%	$76,300 +0.4%	$85,850 +0.4%	$95,350 +0.4%	$103,000 +0.4%	$110,650 +0.5%	$118,250 +0.4%	$125,900 +0.4%

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.
