Alvin R. SANDERS, Appellant/Cross-Appellee, v. Anthony PALMIERI and Anita Palmieri, et al., Appellees/Cross-Appellant.
    No. 5D02-1940.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fifth District.
    July 11, 2003.
    Frederic Stanley, Jr., Stanley, Dehlinger & Rascher, P.A., Altamonte Springs, for Appellant/Cross-Appellee.
    Kimberly Bonder Rezanka and Dean Mead, Viera, for Appellees/Cross-Appel-lant.
    Michael J. Roper and Ernest H. Kohl-myer, III, Bell Leeper & Roper, P.A., Orlando, for Appellee/Cross-Appellant, Brevard County Board of Commissioners.
   PER CURIAM.

The final order that is the subject of this appeal is affirmed. The cross-appeal concerning attorneys’ fees, however, is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. While the trial court has entered an order determining entitlement to attorneys’ fees, it has not yet fixed the amount to be awarded. As an award of attorneys’ fees does not become final, and, therefore, appealable until the amount is set by the trial court, the cross-appeal does not invoke this court’s jurisdiction. See Montanez v. Montanez, 697 So.2d 184 (Fla. 2d DCA 1997).

AFFIRMED. CROSS-APPEAL DISMISSED.
