A license is required for any organization to conduct raffles or chances within the Village. Licenses shall be issued only to bonafide service, religious, charitable, labor, fraternal, education or veteran organizations that operate without profit to their members and which have been in existence continuously for a period of five years immediately before making an application. All provisions of Chapter 31.02 must be met. An application must be submitted to the President and Board of Trustees. Applications must be submitted the Monday prior to the week of the Committee of the Whole and Village Board meeting.

Raffle Manager

The application shall designate an individual to serve as raffle manager, who will oversee the operation and conduct of the raffle. This individual must be an Illinois resident and shall give a fidelity bond in an amount not less than the anticipated gross receipts for each raffle. The organization can request a waiver of the bond by including with the application a statement that the organization agreed to the bond waiver through a unanimous vote of the members of the organization.

Records

Each licensed organization must keep records of its gross receipts, expenses and net proceeds for each raffle. This information must be reported at the conclusion of the raffle, to its membership and to the Village of Lake in the Hills. These reports can be sent to the attention of the Deputy Clerk at the address below.
