The Homer District Court is at Building A, 3670 Lake Street, Homer, AK 99603. Phone: (907) 235-8171. Fax: (907) 235-4257. Homer has a district court only, not a full superior court. This means the court handles misdemeanors, small claims up to $10,000, minor civil disputes, and some family law matters. For more serious cases like felonies, high-value civil suits, or contested probate, the Kenai Superior Court at 125 Trading Bay Drive in Kenai takes jurisdiction.

Copy fees at the Homer court follow statewide rates. A $30 per hour research fee applies if you can't provide a case number and staff need to search through records on your behalf. Walk-in requests at the clerk's window are processed during business hours. Mail and fax requests are accepted at the address and fax number listed above. The Homer court directory page shows the current hours and full contact info. Include the case number in any request to avoid delays and extra charges.

Because Homer only has a district court, some case types that you might expect to find locally are actually filed in Kenai instead. Keep this in mind when doing a Homer people search through court records. Check both the Homer and Kenai courts in CourtView to get the full picture.
