DBSS flats are public houses offered for sale under the Housing Development Board (HDB).
Unlike resale flats or build-to-order (BTO) flats, buyers will have to buy their DBSS flats from the developer directly.
Homeowners looking to own a DBSS flat will have to have an average gross monthly income of not more than $14,000, or $21,000 if purchasing with extended family.
