PER CURIAM.

Appellant contends that the trial court erred by imposing costs under section 27.3455, Florida Statutes (1985) because he was indigent.

We reverse and remand for the court to make a determination of whether appellant had the ability to pay costs and, if it is determined that appellant was indigent, to give him a term of community service in lieu of payment of costs.
