PER CURIAM.
Appellant, N.B., a child, appeals the sentence imposed below to the extent that it imposes costs in the amount of $304 without citing to any statutory authority. Appellant filed a motion to correct the error in the disposition order pursuant to Florida Rule of Juvenile Procedure 8.135(b)(2) on September 27, 2022; however, the motion was not ruled on within the allotted time frame and is thus deemed denied. The State has commendably agreed that the matter should be remanded for a citation to the statutory authority for the costs sought to be imposed.
In accordance with V.D. v. State, 922 So. 2d 1037, 1038 (Fla. 5th DCA
2006), the trial court is required to provide a citation to the statutory basis for each cost imposed. See also Bradshaw v. State, 638 So. 2d 1024 (Fla. 1st
DCA 1994). Accordingly, we strike the costs from the disposition order and remand for entry of an amended disposition order that contains a statutory citation as to each cost imposed by the court.
REMANDED.
