The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) released the annual rent and income limits April 1 for property managers to apply when renting properties financed by low-income housing tax credit (LIHTC) equity as well as HUD programs such as Section 8, Section 202 and Section 811. In this week's episode of the Tax Credit Tuesday podcast, host Michael Novogradac, CPA, and guest Thomas Stagg, CPA, one of Novogradac and the nation's leading experts in rent and income limits, discuss three key takeaways from this year's release. First, Stagg and Novogradac discuss income limits being higher than anticipated. The second key takeaway is why the rent and income limits were higher'a change in HUD's methodology for calculating inflation factor in rent and income limits. Finally, they discuss a number of metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) that were reorganized or changed in the 2025 limits release, including why a disproportionate number of the changes are in Connecticut.
