Sacramento, CA Section 8 Rent Limits 2026–27 by ZIP Code
For 2026–27, HUD's 2-bedroom figure in Sacramento ranges from $1,660 (ZIP 95836) to $2,700 (ZIP 95835), with a median of $2,170 across 37 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 Sacramento see Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency (SHRA) payment standards.
