Toilet Repair in Dillon, CO
Dillon is mixed on both counts: 59% of its housing predates 1990, and 59% of households own rather than rent.
Short version
In Dillon the split runs 59% owner-occupied against 41% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 59% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Dillon’s housing suggests
59% of Dillon’s 7,778 housing units were built before 1990. EPA puts pre-standard toilets at 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons a flush against 1.6 for anything built to the standard.
In a town this evenly split the age of the house is a weak guide, and it is the age of the house rather than the toilet in any case.

What is actually wrong with it
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
