Payment Standards

Fort Bend County has been divided into 5 tiers based on your zip code.

Watch this video to better understand the new tiered system, and then follow the resources and links below to find out what your payment standard will be.

Attention Landlords:

Even though the payment standards have increased, the rent being requested must still be rent reasonable.

If the rent requested is not reasonable, the RHA must negotiate down. The increased payment standard does not guarantee your requested rent will be approved.
