Software Solution
The tax collections process is an essential activity for any tax office and appraisal district. You must be able to automate and manage this process with an easy to use software application. You require comprehensive automation and management for collecting and auditing of property taxes and the fees involved with tax collections. STAR is the solution for efficient and accurate collecting for any Tax Collector.

STAR, written with the user in mind, makes a collector's daily tasks efficient. Using wizards and intuitive software, STAR will dramatically enhance your office's workflow and improve overall efficiency of the collections process.

Integration
STAR is completely integrated with ARM & CCS, providing communication between the appraisal, collections, and delinquent tax processes. This integration provides comprehensive data sharing and management between the three applications.

Audit and Tracking
STAR audit trail is a comprehensive timeline of all transactions and/or adjustments affecting a bill's assessed value, exemption amount, taxable value, and balance due. The audit trail is stored on a by year basis. Payments posted are distributed into base tax, penalty, interest, District distribution, according to how the payment is posted. STAR is designed to allow the user to post payments according to their needs. Have your office procedure dictate the software process rather than the software dictate your office procedure.
