The only support appellee has for this argument is Section 193.122(1), F.S. 1970, F.S.A., which became effective January 1, 1971, and applied to the 1971 tax roll. Even if that provision had applied to the 1970 *229 tax roll, however, it would not have helped appellee. Section 193.122(1), F.S. 1970, F.S.A., refers to certification by the Board of Tax Adjustment, and allows for excepting property then before boards of arbitration. However, the certification by the tax assessor, as provided in Section 193.122(2), is the event which commences the running of the sixty-day limitation, [2] and there is nothing in this subsection to suggest that property before boards of arbitration is excluded from the roll as certified by the tax assessor....

194.171(2) is read in light of section
197.323 and section
193.122, the 60-day trigger date from the date the VAB renders its decision only applies if there has been an initial or partial certification of the tax roll followed by completion of the taxpayer's petition and VAB hearing and then recertification of the tax roll by the property appraiser....
...There, the property appraiser initially certified the tax rolls on October 16, 1991. At that time, the taxpayer had pending before the VAB his petition for reduction of the assessment. On March 6, 1992, the VAB rendered its decision on the taxpayer's petition denying the requested adjustment. One week later, as required by section 193.122(3), the property appraiser recertified the tax rolls to reflect the VAB's changes....
...the board prior to that time period. As the court stated: In order to remove any doubt, we hold that the sixty day filing period contained in section
194.171(2), Florida Statutes commences on the date of the initial certification of the rolls under section
193.122(2) for all taxpayers who either did not file a petition with the Value Adjustment Board, or filed a petition that had received final action of the board prior to that time, and as to those taxpayers who had filed a petition before the board upon which no final action had been taken by that time, the sixty day filing period commences to run from the date the board renders its decision on such taxpayer's petition. The recertification of the rolls under section
193.122(3) has no bearing on the time limits of section
194.171(2)....
...Walker also observed in a footnote that "we think it clear under the legislative *415 scheme that reference to the `extension of the roll under section 193.23' [now
197.323] contemplates the same time frame as the extension and certification of the rolls referred to in section
193.122(2), Florida Statutes."
610 So.2d at 718, n. 1. Thus, Walker recognized the interrelationship of sections
197.323,
193.122, and
194.171(2)....
...The court rejected the taxpayer's argument that it had 60 days from the date of recertification stating that: In this case, the tax rolls were extended and certified prior to completion of board hearings, as permitted by section
197.323(1). The property appraiser then recertified the entire tax rolls as set forth in section
193.122(3)....
...The critical date for filing an action in this instance was 60 days from October 17, 1990. Markham,
575 So.2d at 1309-1310 (emphasis added). In the instant case, the Osceola County VAB certified on October 2, 1997, that it had completed all hearings on petitions filed with the board in accordance with section
193.122(1)....
...When a VAB elects to rely upon a special master to conduct its hearings and issue a recommended decision, the VAB may act upon the recommendation without further hearing and then certify the roll to the property appraiser. §§

193.122(1), Fla. Stat. (1997). The VAB's certification to the property appraiser with any changes made constitutes the authority for the property appraiser to extend taxes on the entire tax roll. See §

...GOSHORN and GRIFFIN, JJ., concur. NOTES [1] The Walker decision is consistent with a review of the legislative history of the 1983 amendment to section
194.171(2). The original language of the House Bill was "or after 60 days from the date said assessment is recertified under s.
193.122(3) if a petition contesting the assessment had not received final action by the property appraisal adjustment board prior to extension of the roll under s. 197.0134." H.R. Bill 1321, Series 19, Box 1769, Fla. Arch. The language was amended on the floor of the House by deleting "said assessment is recertified under section
193.122(3)" and inserting "a decision is rendered concerning said assessment by the property appraisal adjustment board." Fla. H.R. Jour. 726 (Reg.Sess.1983). [2] Wal-Mart's reliance upon Bystrom v. Florida Rock Indus., Inc.,
452 So.2d 1053 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), also is unavailing. That case involved the 1981 version of section
193.122 and section
194.171....

194.171(2) has no bearing on appeals by the property appraiser to the circuit court contesting a decision of the VAB. Instead, it relates to actions by taxpayers to contest tax assessments. This interpretation gives a field of operation to both statutory sections and avoids rendering section

193.122 states that “upon satisfying himself that all property is properly taxed, the property appraiser *37 shall certify the tax rolls.” (Emphasis added.) Florida caselaw indicates that the use of the word “shall,” as used in statutes, is ordinarily intended to be mandatory rather than directory. Holloway v. State,
