Colorado Income Limit FAQs
It depends on your county. For a 4-person household in Colorado, the FY2026 very low income (50% AMI) limit - the main Section 8 eligibility line - ranges from $48,700 to $75,000 per year. Select your county in the table above for exact limits by household size.
Check the low income (80% AMI) tier: some programs, including public housing, accept households up to that level. Also compare neighboring counties - limits can differ substantially, and you can apply to any housing authority whose waiting list is open, not just your own county.
The housing authority verifies gross income for everyone in your household through pay stubs, employer verification, benefit award letters, and tax records. Report all income sources - unreported income discovered later can cause denial or termination of assistance.
