Portland, Maine sets fiscal 2027 mil rate at $12.58 as central banks refresh exchange tables

Portland, Maine sets fiscal 2027 mil rate at $12.58 per thousand of assessed value

The City of Portland has set the mil rate for Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27). The new mil rate will be $12.58 per thousand dollars of assessed value. Because a mil rate is the multiplier that converts a property's assessed value into a tax bill, the figure changes the denominator on every residential and commercial tax estimate in the city. Practitioners rebuilding payment worksheets for the next fiscal cycle should swap the prior figure for $12.58 and re-verify parcel-level assessments before publishing new numbers to clients.

Central banks publish fresh exchange-rate reference tables for early September 2026

Two central banks updated official reference figures on the same day. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation set exchange rates from 05.09.2026, publishing daily rates of foreign currencies against the ruble without assuming any obligation. Separately, the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank's published exchange-rate table shows a Belize entry of 1.35 for 5th September 2026 and a United Kingdom entry of 3.65283 for 4th September 2026, with prior United Kingdom entries of 3.64487 on 3rd September 2026 and a 2nd September 2026 figure also listed. For anyone converting cross-border invoices, remittances or travel budgets dated on or after 5 September 2026, these are the rates to plug in.

US credit union refreshes short-term deposit specials

Hoosier Hills Credit Union lists rates effective as of 9/5/2026, with the disclosure that rates may change after an account is opened. The published specials include a 5 month special at 3.69 / 3.75% on a $5,000.00 minimum, a 3 month option at 1.20 / 1.21% on a $10,000.00 minimum, and a 3 month option starting at $500. Each row pairs a nominal and an effective yield, which matters when comparing advertised specials to after-tax returns. Readers comparing money-market and CD alternatives should re-check the institution's own page, since the same disclosure notes that rates may change after account opening.

Texas county publishes 2026 property-tax rate notice and calculation worksheets

Bosque County, Texas has posted formal notices tied to its 2026 tax rate: a 50-212 NOTICE ABOUT 2026 TAX RATES, an updated NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING on the 2026 TAX RATE, a NOTICE OF MEETING TO VOTE ON 2026 TAX RATE, and a 2026 TAX RATE CALCULATION worksheet. The cluster signals an active public-hearing and adoption cycle that determines the rate residents will see on their autumn bills, parallel to the Portland mil rate setting. Practitioners with clients in Bosque County should watch the public-hearing and vote-on-tax-rate dates that the notices themselves announce, rather than inferring a schedule.

Reader follow-up and tool signals

The day's moves all touch the same workflow: refresh the inputs, recompute, then re-issue any client-facing number. 58 mil rate and against the Bosque County calculation worksheet; for FX work, plug the 5 September 2026 ruble and Eastern Caribbean rates into conversion sheets; for deposit work, model both the nominal and effective yields before recommending a term. A Car Loan Calculator pairs naturally with the deposit-special update for someone weighing whether to keep cash liquid or finance a purchase, while a Cooking Measurement Converter is the kind of utility readers reach for when unit questions surface in everyday cost-of-living math.
