Homer Township voters weighed in 8,131 to 1,234 in favor of a non-binding advisory measure to put any property tax hike up for voter approval. The referendum was sponsored by Steve Balich.

Northwest Homer Fire Protection District

The votes were too close to call for a 9-cent increase in Northwest Homer Fire Protection District fire service fees, with 1,950 in favor and 1,902 against. The increase would reflect about $30 a year for a $100,000 home for the next four years. Absentee votes have yet to be counted.
