The efficient way to collect taxes.
Comprehensive, highly integrated and easy-to-use, the Orion Collections tax collection system ensures timely and efficient processing of bills, payments, property and party information. Orion is a browser-based application that enables you to quickly and easily track detailed property maintenance, tax notification and tax fund collection information through three comprehensive record types.
Fees & Finances records contain the core options of Orion Collections and are where you will spend most of your time. Delivering secure and up-to-date financial information, you can track and process bills, payments, and adjustments related to the property tax collections process. You can also track property fees and maintain till deposits.
Property records include information on real property, personal property, special inventory, mobile homes, and mineral interests. Convenient tabs separate information into logically organized sections, including those for property type, unique identifier, location, and ownership.
Party recordsinclude information on an individual, business, corporation, group, other party — such as an owner, lender or builder/contractor — or an agent appointed to represent the interest of the owner regarding tax appraisal and taxation. Property and party records can easily be linked, so you always have access to complete information.
