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 Grand, that runs from $1,143 for a studio up to $2,624 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Grand 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, Cisco included.
Among Utah's 29 counties, Grand ranks 9th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 32% above the state median of $1,181 and about 54% above the national median county at $1,018. About 9,680 people live here, 22nd in the state.
Rates by ZIP code
HUD also publishes Small Area FMRs by ZIP code. For the 3 ZIP codes it covers in Grand, the two-bedroom rate is $1,560 across the board, so there's no ZIP-level story here.
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 Grand somewhere between $1,408 and $1,720. 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.
$1,564 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $62,560 a year. Put another way, $30 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% ($1,408) | HAP at 100% ($1,564) | HAP at 110% ($1,720) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $658 | $814 | $970 |
