David SEITLIN, Trustee, Appellant,
v.
Franklin B. BYSTROM, As Property Appraiser of Dade County, Florida and Fred Ganz, As Acting Tax Collector of Dade County, Florida, Appellees.

Segall & Gold and Norman Segall, Coral Gables, for appellant.

Robert A. Ginsburg, Co. Atty. and James K. Kracht, Asst. Co. Atty., for appellees.

Before BARKDULL, HENDRY and NESBITT, JJ.

On Rehearing En Banc November 3, 1987.

PER CURIAM.

We hold that the time commences to run for purposes of seeking court review of the action of the Property Appraisal Adjustment Board from the date contained on the notice which advises the taxpayer of the action of the board.^[1] Therefore, the taxpayer's attack on the assessment, as approved by the board, filed within 60 days of the date on the notice of the board's action was timely, although beyond 60 days from when the board met and made its determination, which was later reduced to writing. Therefore, the summary judgment holding that the time commenced from the date of the board's meeting and not the date contained on the notice of the board's action is reversed and the cause is remanded to the trial court for further proceedings.

Reversed and remanded.

Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and BARKDULL, HENDRY, HUBBART, NESBITT, BASKIN, and DANIEL S. PEARSON and FERGUSON and JORGENSON, JJ.

*369 ON REHEARING EN BANC

PER CURIAM.

Following review of the motion for rehearing en banc the court considered the following per curiam affirmed opinions, Schild v. Metropolitan Dade County, 498 So. 2d 466 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986); Turnberry Towers Corp. v. Bystrom, 496 So. 2d 198 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986); Valencia Center, Inc. v. Bystrom, 496 So. 2d 198 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986); and the case of Bystrom v. Stone, 498 So. 2d 434 (Fla. 3d DCA 1986) which the county contends are opposite to the panel opinion in this cause. In order to clarify the matter, we recede from the aforementioned cases and adopt the panel opinion.
