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 Juab, that runs from $1,257 for a studio up to $2,449 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
This is a metro rate. The county doesn't get one of its own. HUD lumps Juab in with one other county in the Provo-Orem-Lehi metro, Utah County among them, and every one of them gets $1,460 for a two-bedroom. Where you are inside the metro doesn't change the county number. It does change the ZIP number, covered below.
Among Utah's 29 counties, Juab ranks 10th for two-bedroom FMR. That's about 24% above the state median of $1,181 and about 43% above the national median county at $1,018. About 11,943 people live here, 20th in the state.

Rates by ZIP code
Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $1,220 in 84628 (Eureka) and $1,230 in 84645 (Mona), with the 4 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 Juab somewhere between $1,314 and $1,606. 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.
$1,460 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $58,400 a year. Put another way, $28 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% ($1,314) | HAP at 100% ($1,460) | HAP at 110% ($1,606) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $2,500 | $750 | $564 | $710 | $856 |
| $4,000 | $1,200 | $114 | $260 | $406 |
