Fair Market Rent is HUD's estimate of what a modest, decent unit rents for in an area, utilities included. It's set once a year and runs October to September. For FY 2026 that's October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. In Broward, that runs from $1,737 for a studio up to $3,810 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Broward is its own HUD metro area (Fort Lauderdale, FL), so the rate here is set from rents inside the county rather than a wider region.
Among Florida's 67 counties, Broward ranks 3rd for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 59% above the state median of $1,471 and about 129% above the national median county at $1,018. About 1,940,907 people live here, 2nd in the state.
Rates by ZIP code
Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $1,780 in 33973 (Lehigh Acres) and $3,500 in 33076 (Pompano Beach), with the 84 ZIP codes in between. Housing authorities in HUD-designated metros use those ZIP rates instead of the county rate. Everywhere else the ZIP numbers show where rents actually sit, and the county rate stays the official standard.

What a voucher pays here
The voucher doesn't pay the FMR itself. It pays the payment standard. Housing authorities set it anywhere from 90% to 110% of FMR, which puts a two-bedroom standard in Broward somewhere between $2,100 and $2,566. The tenant pays roughly 30% of their income, the voucher covers the rest up to the standard, and the PHA won't approve a rent above what comparable unassisted units get.
$2,333 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $93,320 a year. Put another way, $45 an hour full time.
Worked example for a two-bedroom, assuming the rent equals the payment standard. Tenant pays 30% of monthly income, HUD's housing assistance payment covers the rest.
| Monthly household income | Tenant pays (30%) | HAP at 90% ($2,100) | HAP at 100% ($2,333) | HAP at 110% ($2,566) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $1,350 | $1,583 | $1,816 |
| $4,000 | $1,200 | $900 | $1,133 | $1,366 |
