We investigate the para-ferro transition of the repulsive SU($N$) Hubbard model on one- and two-dimensional Tasaki lattices. Under certain restrictions for constructing localized many-particle ground states of flat-band ferromagnetism, the quantum strongly correlated electrons model is mapped to a classical statistical geometric site-percolation problem, where the nontrivial weights of different configurations must be considered. We prove rigorously the para-ferro transition for the SU($N$) Hubbard model on one-dimensional Tasaki lattice by transfer-matrix method, and numerically verify it for the model with symmetries up to SU($10$). In two dimensions, we numerically investigate the phase transition of SU($3$), SU($4$) and SU($10$) Hubbard models by Metropolis Monte Carlo simulation. And we find the critical density exceeds that of standard percolation, and it increases with spin degrees of freedom, implying that the effective repulsive interaction becomes stronger for larger $N$. We further rigorously prove the flat-band ferromagnetism of the SU$(N)$ Hubbard model, when the number of particles $N_e$ equals to the degeneracy $N_d$ of the lowest band in the single-particle energy spectrum.
