Denver, CO Section 8 Rent Limits 2026–27 by ZIP Code
For 2026–27, HUD's 2-bedroom figure in Denver ranges from $1,890 (ZIP 80219) to $3,060 (ZIP 80202), with a median of $2,150 across 51 ZIP codes. Some ZIPs use HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents (set per ZIP) and others the metro Fair Market Rent.
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 Denver see Denver Housing Authority payment standards.
