Important Notes:

1. Income and rent limits for Low Income Housing Tax Credit and Tax-Exempt Bond properties are calculated annually by the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) using established HUD formulas. As a customer service, the Washington State Housing Finance Commission provides these limits to property owners and managers.  However, per IRS regulations, it is the sole responsibility of property owners to use the correct limits applicable to their properties.  Any noncompliance resulting from the use of an incorrect limit is entirely the responsibility of the property owner. 

2. Properties with additional funding from other city, county, state, or federal affordable housing programs may be required to use lower rent and income limits than the HUD limits listed here. The correct limits are automatically applied to each unit within the WBARS system. If your company does not use WBARS, be sure to check for the appropriate rent and income limits on the websites of the property’s other funders.

3. Maximum rent limits include the cost of utilities paid by the resident. Unless your property pays ALL utilities, you must allow for the estimated amount the resident pays for utilities (also known as a utility allowance) when calculating the rent charged, so that both together do not exceed the rent limits. Go to our utility allowances page to learn more about this requirement.

4. If income limits increased in your area, it is important to implement the higher income limits immediately to help tenants qualify for housing.  More caution is advised when deciding whether to increase the rents being charged to tenants.  Remember that rent limits are a ceiling, not a floor.
