Irvine, CA Section 8 Rent Limits 2026–27 by ZIP Code
For 2026–27, HUD's 2-bedroom figure in Irvine ranges from $2,920 (ZIP 92617) to $4,350 (ZIP 92603), with a median of $3,650 across 13 ZIP codes. HUD sets these per ZIP code (Small Area Fair Market Rents), so they differ across the city.
These are HUD's figures, effective 2026-10-01. A housing authority sets its own payment standard, normally between 90% and 110% of them (higher with HUD approval or as a disability accommodation). The voucher then pays the lower of that standard or the gross rent, minus your total tenant payment (generally 30% of adjusted monthly income). In Irvine see Orange County Housing Authority (OCHA) payment standards.
