In Maricopa CountyGrand Canyon University topped the list as Phoenix’s No. 1 taxpaying building in 2016, forking over $6.5M in tax contributions last year. The property tax ranking was done by CRE blog CommercialCafé, which combed through PropertyShark data and county public records.

The 24-story Central Arts Plaza took second place, shelling out a little over $2M in 2016. Chase Tower came in third, receiving a $1.9M tax bill.
