What does HUD’s FY2027 Fair Market Rent say about Lexington Park?

Lexington Park, ZIP 20653, falls under HUD’s St. Mary’s County table. HUD sets one Fair Market Rent for the whole county rather than one per ZIP. It is a federal benchmark used for voucher programs. It is not a prediction of what a specific home will rent for.

Source: HUD FY2027 FMR for St. Mary’s County, retrieved October 29, 2026. A housing choice voucher payment standard starts from this table. Maryland treats a voucher as a lawful source of income, and our voucher guide for landlords explains the process. For a number based on your own home, request a free rental assessment. The market rent entry explains the difference.

Do I need a rental license in Lexington Park?

No. The Maryland People’s Law Library lists no long-term or short-term rental license for St. Mary’s County, in a table updated September 22, 2026. Lexington Park is a Census-designated place, not an incorporated town. The library is the state judiciary’s law library, not a county site, so call the county before you list a home.
