What you would actually pay in Mohave County

For a two-bedroom in Mohave County, that puts the likely payment standard somewhere between $1,229 and $1,502 per month. Confirm the exact figure with the authority issuing your voucher before signing a lease, since anything above the payment standard comes out of your own pocket.
