How much will Section 8 pay for rent in Logan County?

Up to the housing authority's payment standard, which it sets between 90% and 110% of FMR. For a two-bedroom that's $958 to $1,170. The voucher covers the gap between that standard and about 30% of the tenant's income, and it never pays more than the unit would rent for without a voucher.

Why does my ZIP code show a different Fair Market Rent than Logan County?

HUD publishes a second set of numbers, Small Area FMRs, for individual ZIP codes. In Logan those run from $1,000 to $1,390 for a two-bedroom. Housing authorities in metros HUD has designated for Small Area FMRs use the ZIP rate. The rest use the county rate. Your PHA can tell you which one applies.

When do the next Fair Market Rents for Logan County come out?

HUD usually publishes the new fiscal year's rates in late August or September, and they take effect October 1. This page updates as soon as the new Ohio figures are loaded.

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 Logan somewhere between $958 and $1,170. 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.

$1,064 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $42,560 a year. Put another way, $20 an hour full time.

Worked example for a two-bedroom renting at the payment standard. The tenant pays 30% of monthly income and the voucher covers the rest.

Monthly household income	Tenant pays (30%)	Voucher pays at 90%$958	Voucher pays at 100%$1,064	Voucher pays at 110%$1,170
$2,500	$750	$208	$314	$420

About this rate

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 2027 that's October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027. In Logan, that runs from $808 for a studio up to $1,398 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.

Because Logan sits outside any HUD metro area, its rate is a county-wide figure built from local rents. One number covers every address in the county, Belle Center included.

Among Ohio's 88 counties, Logan ranks 41st for two-bedroom FMR. That's within a couple percent of the state median of $1,048 and within a couple percent of the national median county at $1,063. About 46,089 people live here, 52nd in the state.
