Full Breakdown
Organizers must apply to the village clerk at least 30 days before the event, listing the route, assembly point, headcount and a responsible contact; applications made less than 30 days out can be denied outright. The clerk can also refuse a permit if the event would overwhelm police or emergency response, snarl traffic on a workday, or is poorly organized enough to invite trouble. There's no application fee, but the village president, chief of police or public works director can revoke or terminate a permit during an actual or potential emergency, and every permittee needs liability coverage of at least $100,000 per person and $500,000 per accident.
Violations & Fines
Leading or joining an unpermitted procession, or ignoring an officer's order under the permit terms, is a Code violation carrying the general penalty: a $25-$1,000 forfeiture per offense.
