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 Sanpete, that runs from $863 for a studio up to $1,564 for four bedrooms, all five rates in the table above.
Because Sanpete 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, Axtell included.
Among Utah's 29 counties, Sanpete ranks 15th for two-bedroom FMR. That's within a couple percent of the state median of $1,181 and about 16% above the national median county at $1,018. About 28,816 people live here, 13th in the state.

Zoom in and the picture changes. HUD's Small Area FMRs put a two-bedroom at $970 in 84646 (Moroni) and $1,460 in 84647 (Mount Pleasant), with the 15 ZIP codes in between. Housing authorities in HUD-designated metros use those ZIP rates instead of the county rate.

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 Sanpete somewhere between $1,063 and $1,299. 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.
$1,181 a month is affordable, by HUD's 30% rule, on an income of roughly $47,240 a year. Put another way, $23 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.
