Archived Income and Rent Limits

Below are archived limits for maximum allowable incomes and rents for specific programs administered by the Department (Texas only). The maximum allowable income and rent limits are compiled on a county-by-county basis with the major Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) listed individually. The Department calculates income and rent limits based on figures provided by HUD. HUD updates the figures annually, usually in the first quarter of the year. The Department will post updated rent and income limits to this page as soon as possible after HUD releases the information.
