Utah's two-bedroom fair market rent sits at $1,181 for FY 2026, and Summit County is the reason that number looks high. Summit tops every county in the state at $2,185, more than double what you'd pay in Wayne County, the cheapest at $973. Utah's 29 counties don't cluster into large shared metro areas the way big states do. Nine counties carry a metro-area rate in total, and the biggest cluster is the Ogden, UT MSA, where Davis, Morgan and Weber counties all pay $1,614. Summit stands alone with its own rate. Its own ZIP codes tell the real story. Summit County's Small Area FMRs run from $1,630 to $2,780, a spread of $1,150 across just nine ZIP codes. Wherever you're renting inside that county, the ZIP code matters more than the county line.
9 of the 29 counties sit inside a HUD metro area and share that metro's rate. The other 20 get a county rate built from their own rents. The Utah median of $1,181 is about 16% above the national median county ($1,018). HUD also publishes ZIP-level Small Area FMRs covering 29 of the 29 counties, which is where the real variation shows up.
