India property from Arizona: your consulate and your rails
You live in Arizona. Your property paperwork goes to the Consulate General, Los Angeles, at 707 Wilshire Boulevard, under the consular jurisdiction map effective 15 July 2025. Which mission handles you is decided by where you live, not by the city you travel from.
Arizona keeps no daylight saving, so your gap to India does not move when the rest of the country changes its clocks.
The hours you are working across
Arizona runs 12.5 hours behind India all year, because Arizona keeps no daylight saving. India keeps no daylight saving, so a gap that moves, moves because the US moved its clocks.
What Arizona does about the tax India already took
Arizona taxes residents on income from all sources, your India rent included, and it is one of the three states we have found that then gives you a state-level credit for the income tax India already took. That credit is separate from the federal foreign tax credit on Form 1116, and how the two sit together is a question for your preparer.
Arizona is one of the few states that credits foreign tax. Form 309 gives a credit for net income taxes imposed by and paid to another state or country, and the law defines net income tax to include a foreign tax that qualifies under sections 901 and 903 of the Internal Revenue Code. You complete Form 309 even if you did not have to complete federal Form 1116.
India goes first either way. Rent paid to a non-resident owner carries 31.2% withheld at source from the first rupee, with no threshold, under the rule now carried in Section 393(2) of the Income-tax Act 2025. On a sale the buyer withholds on the full price rather than on your gain, at 13% to 14.95%, unless you hold a lower-deduction certificate.
Sending a power of attorney from Arizona
One named person, one named property, a listed set of acts. Sign before a notary with two independent witnesses, apostille through the authority that issues them where you live, courier the original to India, and adjudicate stamp duty within three months of arrival. Indian passport and OCI holders can use mission attestation instead. Since August 2025 the mission side runs through VFS Global, which adds an appointment and two courier legs.
