  This is possible with [CiviRules](https://civicrm.org/extensions/civirules). However, I'd argue that in most cases you'd rather use a Smart Group.
  
  If you're committed to using CiviRules though:
  
  * You'll need two rules. One with a trigger of "Any contact is added" and one with "Any contact is changed". If this only applies to individuals, you can substitute the appropriate triggers.
  * The condition will be "Field Value Comparison".
  * The action will be "Add tag to contact".
  
  Note that you may want another rule to *remove* the tag if the field is changed and the condition no longer applies.
