If my mom has a deeded parking spot in a private lot, how can we stop the neighbors from parking there?

I have contacted L&I, property assessment, and a surveyor who all said that the spot was legally hers and she could do what ever she wanted with the spot. I marked the spot with the lot number. I had to call the police to come ticket my neighbor’s car. The officer said that we had to do more and he didn’t want to give the man a ticket. He said maybe come together we all have not gotten along for over twenty years, so I don’t think that’s going to happen. My mother’s spot has it’s own deed number that is separate from the house.

Well if some one is illegally on your property you can have them towed off but you will just be adding fuel to the fire here.  It is hard to say what to do with out actually seeing the lay out of the property and the parking spot.  But if it is hers alone she could fence it in with a gate; she could put a lock on the gate; put a garage, etc., all subject to zoning laws and permits of course.  Good luck.
