Because DBSS flats **do not have private condo facilities** (no swimming pool, gym, or tennis courts), they do **not** incur private MCST management fees (which typically run between S$300 and S$500+ per month).

Instead, DBSS developments are managed by their local **Town Council** and pay standard **Service & Conservancy Charges (S&CC)**, just like regular HDB flats—with only a slight surcharge (roughly S$5 to S$15 more per month) to account for additional landscaping, gated lift lobbies, and multi-storey car park upkeep.

---

### Monthly S&CC Comparison (DBSS vs. Standard HDB)

| Flat Type | Standard HDB S&CC | DBSS S&CC Rate | Comparison to Private Condo |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **3-Room** | **~S$52 – S$75** / month | **~S$58 – S$87** / month | *Saves ~S$250 – S$350/mo* |
| **4-Room** | **~S$70 – S$85** / month | **~S$80 – S$102** / month | *Saves ~S$250 – S$400/mo* |
| **5-Room** | **~S$90 – S$99** / month | **~S$103 – S$119** / month | *Saves ~S$300 – S$450/mo* |

*(Note: Exact rates depend on the Town Council managing the estate—such as Bishan-Toa Payoh or Tampines Town Council—and whether you qualify for citizen-subsidised reduced rates versus normal non-citizen/PR rates).*

---

### Key Takeaway

Choosing a DBSS provides condo-style architectural finishes, basement/multi-storey parking, and security card lift access while keeping monthly recurring maintenance under **~S$80 to S$120/month**, compared to the thousands paid annually for private condominium MCST sinking funds.
