Best Jurisdictions for Yurt/Off Grid Living

[Richie]

Forgive me if I'm missing something blatantly obvious, but is there a resource somewhere which lists the most Yurt/off-grid friendly jurisdictions? I'm running into a problem where I'm finding land that I like, but either the zoning just doesn't work out or the zoning office takes so long to get back to me that the property is purchased. Granted, I'm on the east coast in Baltimore and my search has been limited to Virginia, West Virginia, and Ohio. Does anybody have tips for where to expand my search where I can be less concerned about zoning/building codes? I'd prefer to limit this within a hard driving distance of Maryland, but I'm also open to changing my mind on this.
