OSM has no tags for lot boundaries of private property.

Publicly accessible car parks are on 'private property' so would need 
human consideration as to if it is 'private' or not. Think about 
shopping centres...

So..
I don't see any advantage in adding it to OSM as:

it would need human involvement in considering if access is private or 
not and that can be done using the present base map anyway.

there would need to be some way of tagging it...
