How is the tag Bound to the Object and what are you trying to achieve with that tagPath? Mainly asking since there's a lot of ways to achieve different results.

i have a custom property that i bind to a tag, now i want the path to this tag, I want this so that each time I bind a new tag I can store the tag path in a variable

That's backwards. Store the tag path in a string property, and use indirect binding to use that to get the live tag value.
