Configuration • STARS is a mainframe system, scheduled for replacement. • RFI has been issued. • Decision was made to take a modular approach. • Vehicle Tax System will be a separate system housed at the NC DOR data center. • DMV maintains responsibility for titles and registrations. • DOR responsible for property tax administration.
