Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Ohio

Rights to property that I care for

I have owned my home for almost 9 years and part of my fenced-in yard is owned by a group of 10 people. The deed to my home states that I may use the land provided I take care of it, which I have done. The owners have not paid taxes on the land since 1961. I would like to legally acquire the property, where do I start and do I have any legal rights to the property since I have cared for it?
