The court held that probation conditions not orally pronounced at sentencing are invalid unless statutorily authorized as standard conditions or otherwise validated by statute. The court also held that an order setting restitution after a notice of appeal divests the trial court of jurisdiction.
[1] Conditions of probation that are not statutorily authorized or contained within general probation conditions must be orally pronounced at sentencing to be valid.
[2] Special conditions of probation, as opposed to general conditions, must be orally pronounced at sentencing to be valid.

Queen appeals from two orders rendered by the trial court: the first order placed him on probation, ordered him to pay restitution to the City of St. Augustine, and reserved the amount to be paid; and a subsequent order filed October 16, 2001, set restitution in the amount of $999.00. We affirm in part, strike conditions (10) and (12), quash the order setting restitution, and remand for further proceedings.
Queen pled nolo contendere to misdemeanor criminal mischief.1 The trial court withheld adjudication of guilt and placed him on twelve months probation. It also required him to pay restitution, but reserved jurisdiction to set the amount. This order was rendered on August 6, 2001, and Queen filed a notice of appeal on September 6, 2001. On October 15, 2001, the trial court set the restitution amount and filed that order on October 16, 2001. Queen also filed a motion to correct a sentencing error on December 4, 2002, pursuant to Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.800(b)(2), which was not acted on by the trial court.
Queen challenges three conditions of his probation because they were not orally pronounced at his sentencing:
(10) You will participate in self-improvement programs determined by the Court, or your officer. (12) You will hereby waive all extradition rights and process during your term of supervision and agree to comply and return to the State of Florida, and the Court of Jurisdiction, upon official instruction to do so.
(13) You will submit to a reasonable search without a Warrant by your officer of your person, effects, residence or vehicle for weapons or firearms, alcoholic beverages, or controlled substances.
The state concedes that condition (10) is neither statutorily authorized nor contained within the general conditions or probation and thus it must be orally pronounced at sentencing to be validly imposed. § 948.03(1), Fla. Stat. (2000), Fla. R.Crim. P. 3.986(f). See Hagins v. State, 693 So. 2d 698, 699 (Fla. 4th DCA 1997). In addition, the state concedes that condition (12) must also be orally pronounced at sentencing because it is a special rather than a general condition. See Steinard v. State, 711 So. 2d 105, 106 (Fla. 2d DCA), rev. denied, 718 So. 2d 171 (Fla.1998); McDaniels v. State, 679 So. 2d 840 (Fla. 2d DCA 1996); Reiter v. State, 674 So. 2d 189 (Fla. 2d DCA 1996). Thus both of these conditions must be stricken. However, condition (13), although not a standard condition of probation nor a general condition, has been upheld even though not orally pronounced at sentencing because probation officers must be able to conduct warrantless searches in order to properly supervise their probationers. Brown v. State, 697 So. 2d 928 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997). The court in Brown relied on Grubbs v. State, 373 So. 2d 905 (Fla.1979), and determined that section 948.03,2 provided the necessary notice sufficient to validate this written condition, even though not orally pronounced at sentencing. These holdings were codified in section 948.03(5), Fla. Stat. (1999).3 Thus, we affirm condition (13).
We also quash the order setting the restitution amount because it was rendered after Queen had filed his notice of appeal. At that time the trial court did not have jurisdiction to conduct a restitution hearing or to render an order thereon. See Marro v. State, 803 So. 2d 906 (Fla. 4th DCA 2002); Kern v. State, 726 So. 2d 353 (Fla. 5th DCA 1999). However, this ruling is without prejudice to the court to conduct another restitution hearing on remand. Locus v. State, 785 So. 2d 594 (Fla. 1st DCA 2001). Both the state and the public defender agree on this point.
AFFIRMED in part; Conditions (10) and (12) STRICKEN; Order Setting Restitution Amount QUASHED; REMANDED.
