I can use the edit menu to add and organize tags, but I can’t find a way to delete a specific tag from a person / family, etc.

I’ve read the manual, but couldn’t find anything. Thanks in advance!

You can clear or assign tags using the Tag Button that appears on the thing you placed the Tag on. See the red oval in this example, just clear the check box for the Tag you want to remove.

Thanks, I didn’t see that!

I’m starting to see that there’s a lot of room for improvement in the documentation. I hope to be able to contribute to the wiki once I learn the basics.

Welcome to Gramps. In particular we need your new user insights to help improve the documentation. So, try to keep a list of things that need better documentation, there is plenty of room for new contributors.
