Is it illegal to occupy public parking spaces privately?

It is illegal to occupy public parking spaces without permission.

According to relevant laws and regulations, public parking spaces are public and are planned and managed by relevant government departments. No unit or individual may occupy or set up obstacles without authorization. Violation of these regulations may lead to penalties such as fines and ordering rectification within a time limit.

If it is illegal to occupy a public parking space without permission, the traffic control department shall point out the illegal act and give a verbal warning and order it to leave immediately. If the driver of a motor vehicle is not present at the scene or refuses to leave immediately, thus obstructing traffic, he shall be fined between 20 yuan and 200 yuan, and the vehicle may be towed to a place that does not obstruct traffic or parked at a place designated by the traffic management department.

The legal treatment for occupying parking spaces is as follows:

1, you can directly find the property to solve it. The property company collects the property management fee of the parking space, that is, it has the obligation to manage the parking space, and can require the property to strictly manage the parking space;

2. Direct on-site alarm requires the police to move the car. If the other party violates the law, you can tow the vehicle back to the Traffic Management Bureau and then notify the owner to deal with it;

3. The owner can keep enough photos, video evidence and witness material evidence issued by the property management company. After finding the owner, you can bring a civil lawsuit to the court according to law, demanding that the infringing owner bear the cost of moving the car and compensate other losses.

Private parking spaces are occupied as follows:

1, call the owner, this is the fastest and most effective way. Under normal circumstances, the owner will feel indefensible when he knows that he has occupied someone else's parking space, and will hurry to move the car;

2, parking lock: If it is the parking space of the community's own home, you can give the car a parking lock and lock it directly when your car is not there;

3, alarm: alarm is also a very common way to protect rights. Some car owners just don't move the car, or there is no phone in the car. At this time, call the police and tell the police the license plate. The police will send a text message to inform the owner.

To sum up, occupying public parking spaces is generally a warning or a fine from 20 yuan to 200 yuan.
