However, health officials do not believe there is evidence of any "ongoing, active" transmissions.
According to a news release, the person who tested positive did not have a partner who had recently traveled to any "Zika zone" areas.
The most recent case is just the second locally acquired case of the Zika virus in Florida this year.
A total of 183 Zika infections were acquired during travel this year, and another 32 are considered undetermined exposures that were tested in 2017.
That brings the total number of Zika virus cases in Florida this year to 217.
