In my county and city, zoning is very loose. So far as I know there is no restriction on RV parking on private property anywhere; there is a city restriction on an occupied RV on a lot where there is also an occupied house, since the lot is for a single dwelling. Some subdivisions prohibit mobile homes, so you could not set up a RV to live in long-term. I do know of people who have lived in them on their own lot while building or remodeling a house.
Maybe there's a loophole for someone who wants to live in an RV on an empty lot. Buy a lot, get a building permit, start some simple development, and go VEEEERRRRRY slowly - maybe one brick a day. If I decide to live permanently in one place I'd probably rather buy a lot in an RV park and not have to worry about developing the electricity, water, and sewer/septic.
