PER CURIAM In this criminal appeal, defendant challenges the trial court’s imposition of a probation-violation fee that was not announced in open court. Defendant was serving an 18-month probation sentence, and the state alleged that he had failed to report to the supervising authority. At the show-cause hearing, defendant admitted the allegations. The trial court revoked probation but did not mention the imposition of any probation fine or fee. However, in the written judgment, the court imposed a $25 "probation violation assessment." The state concedes that the court erred by imposing a $25 probation fee for the first time in the judgment. See State v. Hillman , 293 Or. App. 231, 233, 426 P.3d 249 (2018) (trial court erred by imposing outside the defendant’s presence $25 probation-violation fee); State v. Zamno , 299 Or. App. 270, 272, 450 P.3d 57 (2019) (vacating erroneously imposed $25 probation-violation fee and remanding for resentencing). We agree and accept the state’s concession.
Portion of judgment requiring defendant to pay a probation violation fee vacated; remanded for resentencing; otherwise affirmed.
