Grant Street Group (Grant Street) announces a significant milestone: the integration of TaxSys with the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles’ (FLHSMV) ORION Motor Vehicle Information (MVI) system. As part of the FLHSMV’s Motorist Modernization Initiative, this collaborative effort marks the end of the FLHSMV’s legacy on-premise system and the introduction of a new, fully integrated cloud-based system.
For residents, this means a streamlined and more dependable experience when completing motor vehicle transactions. Hon. Scott Lunsford, Escambia County Tax Collector, has already seen the impact.
"This project represents a significant milestone in our efforts to better serve both staff and customers. With all motor vehicle transactions now supported by the State's new streamlined system and integrated with our TaxSys system, residents can count on faster, more reliable service."
The new ORION MVI system officially began its rollout in April 2025. Grant Street’s development began as early as 2023, and pilot testing with its county Tax Collector clients began in May 2024. Remaining Tax Collector office transitions are scheduled to be completed by the end of March 2026.
"For nearly a decade, our Tax Collector partners have been instrumental in guiding us through this process, and we couldn’t have done it without them,” said Craig Phillips, Grant Street’s Florida Business Development Manager. “We value the engagement we had with FLHSMV and applaud their efforts. We look forward to our continued partnerships with Florida Tax Collectors and FLHSMV, with a commitment to enhancing services for all Floridians."
What’s Next?
The modernization journey continues, with the next phase – integrating online renewals through Grant Street’s RenewExpress with the ORION system – set to begin rolling out in early 2026.
