Practical help for your next step
Compare your income with published housing limits
Look up standard FY2026 tax credit housing income limits for households of one to eight people in five Texas counties. This comparison doesn’t tell you if you qualify.
HUD Multifamily Tax Subsidy Projects (MTSP), FY2026, effective 2026-05-01. Source: HUD MTSP API. Data snapshot: 2026-10-12. Standard 50% and 60% limits only. Choose the county where the property is, not where you live now. For another county, or an address near a county line, use HUD’s or TDHCA’s lookup linked below.
Check which table applies to you
This tool shows the standard tax credit (MTSP) 50% and 60% limits only. Section 8 vouchers and public housing use the housing agency’s own income limits, so check with that agency.
These are HUD’s published standard MTSP limits, not our own math from a median income. They don’t cover HOME or local programs either. Some tax credit units use other limits, too, such as HERA Special limits or hold harmless limits set for one property. This tool doesn’t calculate rent.
HUD’s areas don’t always line up with the metro names people use. Brazoria County, for example, has its own table separate from Houston’s area, and Medina County has one separate from San Antonio’s.
