    A note from the board

    Open with a short message from the HOA board — a project update, a seasonal reminder, or a thank-you to residents.

  2. 2

    Community announcements

    Share news that affects the neighborhood: landscaping schedules, pool hours, road work, or policy changes.

  3. 3

    Dates to remember

    Reminders and rules

    Gently restate common guidelines — trash days, parking, pet rules, or architectural request steps.

  6. 6

What makes a good HOA newsletter

A useful HOA newsletter keeps residents informed without feeling like a rulebook. Lead with a friendly note from the board, then group content into clear sections: announcements, upcoming dates, a community spotlight, and reminders. Keep the tone warm and the layout scannable — most residents skim, so headings and short paragraphs do the heavy lifting. Close with contact details for the board and management.

Send it by mail or email

Export a print-ready PDF to print and mail or leave in community mailboxes, or attach the same PDF to an email blast. Many HOAs do both — print for residents who prefer paper, email for everyone else. A consistent monthly or quarterly issue keeps the community engaged.

Reuse the template each issue

Duplicate your newsletter at the start of each issue, update the date, board note, events, and spotlight, then export a fresh PDF. Keeping the same layout issue to issue gives your HOA a recognizable, professional look and saves time.

Frequently asked questions

What is an HOA newsletter template?+

An HOA newsletter template is an editable neighborhood newsletter layout with sections for a board message, announcements, event dates, a community spotlight, and contacts. You customize it online and export a print-ready PDF to mail or email.

What size does it print at?+

It's Letter size (8.5×11 in), which prints cleanly at home or at a print shop and fits standard envelopes when folded for mailing.

Can I email it instead of mailing?+

Yes. Export the same PDF and attach it to an email blast, or print copies for mailboxes — most HOAs do both to reach every resident.

Can I reuse it each month or quarter?+

Yes. Duplicate your newsletter, update the date and content, and export a fresh PDF. Keeping the same layout each issue gives your HOA a consistent, professional look.

Can I add our community logo or photos?+

Yes. Upload your HOA logo and add neighborhood photos to the image zones — a community photo on the masthead makes each issue feel local.

Is there a cost to export?+

You can build the entire newsletter for free. Export options and any cost are shown before download — no surprise paywall.

Is this affiliated with Microsoft?+

No. Publish Media Software is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft Corporation. 'Microsoft Publisher' is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation.

Is this only for Microsoft Publisher files?+

Publisher comes first: open your .pub files, start from a print-ready Publisher-style template, or create a brand-new document — all in your browser. As a bonus, you can also open Word, PowerPoint, PDF, and image files and fully edit them online when you need to.

Can I open a Word, PowerPoint, or PDF file too?+

Yes. Alongside Publisher .pub files you can open Word, PowerPoint, and PDF files (and PNG/JPG/WebP images) as an editable starting point, then edit them in your browser and export a clean PDF. Publisher is our focus; these are a convenience for the other files you already have.

Can I export a clean PDF?+

Yes. Every document exports to a clean, print-ready PDF — included on the free plan. You can keep editing online and return to your project anytime.
