If you do not update and re-submit your application within 14 days of this letter, your application will no longer be eligible to bid for properties in Lincoln, and any current bids may be skipped/bypassed.   

Further correspondence will be sent to you after the initial 14 days has passed, giving you a final 14 days to update your application. Failure to submit all updates will result in your application for the City of Lincoln being closed. 

What do I do if I need assistance to update my application?
