Does a lower sale price automatically lower my Warman taxes?

No. A lower sale price does not automatically change your Warman property tax bill, because Warman sets assessed value on its own municipal cycle, separate from any individual sale, and the tax bill is calculated from that assessment times the current mill rate, not from what a buyer happened to pay.

Warman is its own municipality with its own Board of Revision, distinct from the City of Saskatoon, so a sale price there feeds the next assessment cycle rather than adjusting the current one. A house that sells for less than its assessed value can carry that same assessment, and the same tax bill, until the town's next scheduled reassessment.

If a recent sale genuinely shows your assessment is out of line with the market, that comparable sale is exactly the kind of evidence a Board of Revision appeal wants, but the appeal has to be filed within roughly 30 days of the notice date rather than assumed to happen on its own.

A seller weighing whether a lower price is worth it should separate the sale decision from the tax question entirely, since one does not fix the other automatically. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
