Investopedia explains 'Tax Roll'

The tax roll is often used as a basis for calculating actual taxes to be levied upon residents within the jurisdiction of the taxing authority. For example, a city's tax roll shows that there is a total of $250 million of assessed value within the city, and the city needs $2 million to operate its budget this year. Therefore the city uses the figure from the tax roll to calculate a tax of eight mills for each property on the roll.
