What’s local to West Carrollton City
There are no programs run by West Carrollton City itself. A West Carrollton City buyer uses Montgomery County’s programs, plus the statewide and federal ones above — all of which are open to them.
The closest city that runs its own program is Dayton, about 7 miles away. City programs usually require the home to be inside that city’s limits — worth checking if you’re still choosing where to buy.
HUD puts the 2026 area median income for Montgomery County at $103,000 for a four-person household. 13 of the programs listed here set an income limit as a percentage of that figure, which is why the same program admits a different income in a different county. Published limits for Ohio →
