If you get permits won't the city know your basement is developed and charge you more property tax?

Yes they will....but every so often cities do inspections of properties and if you don't let them in to see the place they'll intentionally over charge you so that you demand an appeal and than let them on the premesis. If the city does a random inspection and finds out that your basement has been developed....you face a fine that will make you wish you had just got the permit.
I had an inspection done on my property this year and the guy said that they try to check every property that they have records of not having basement development about every 4 years.
