Charlotte, NC Section 8 Rent Limits 2026–27 by ZIP Code

For 2026–27, HUD's 2-bedroom figure in Charlotte ranges from $1,500 (ZIP 28208) to $2,680 (ZIP 28202), with a median of $1,890 across 59 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).
