Rent pricing and payments
Our Public Buildings Service charges rent to more than 100 federal agencies. We use the rent payments deposited into the federal buildings fund to operate the government’s buildings and pay rent to the private sector for lease space.
Rent pricing
Our Pricing Desk Guide [PDF - 1 MB] (fifth edition) sets our rent pricing policy and provides pricing direction for general cases and special circumstances. It guides our employees in the performance of their work. It also serves as a resource for tenant agencies. We update the Pricing Desk Guide according to policy updates and clearly mark and date all changes. Read PBS Order 7025.2 [PDF - 775 KB] for information on rent exemption procedures.
Rent estimate and Exhibit 54
We provide the annual rent estimate to all customer-designated agency points of contact to help you develop your “Rental of Space to GSA” budget activity and the Office of Management and Budget’s Space Budget Justification (also known as Exhibit 54). This information is also available on Rent on the Web.
Pay rent and find billing information
We generate rent bills on the 15th of each month, based on the space and rates in your final occupancy agreement.

Reimbursable work authorizations
