’ This petition for writ of certiorari, brought to review a circuit court affirmance of a county court judgment finding petitioner guilty of violating a city ordinance, challenges both the judgment and sentence. We find that the judgment does not depart from the essential requirements of law, but the sentence was illegal.
The city ordinance in question provides for a maximum sentence of sixty days in jail and a $500.00 fine. Petitioner was sentenced to fifteen days in the county jail as a condition of six months’ probation and ordered to pay a $547.00 fine. The fine on its face is in excess of the statutory maximum. Additionally, the state has confessed error as to the six months’ probation in that probation is not authorized for violation of a municipal ordinance. Chapter 948, Florida Statutes (1981), only authorizes probation for a defendant where he has been found guilty of a criminal violation of state law and a municipal ordinance violation is not a criminal violation. See § 775.08, Fla. Stat. (1981). Moreover, the city code herein does not authorize placing a person on probation.
Accordingly, certiorari is denied in part, granted in part, and the cause remanded for resentencing in accordance with the above opinion.
