If you are planning a move, and you intend to use a professional moving company, the moving company must secure enforceable “no parking” signs by applying for an “Occupy the Public Right of way: Moving Van” permit.  This will cost them $25.

This can be completed through the Chicago Department of Transportation’s permit portal, as is required by City Ordinance. Once the permit is secured at least 72 business hours in advance of the move, CDOT sign hangers will come out and hang enforceable no parking signs prior to the move.
