Toilet Repair in Longmont, CO
In Longmont the housing is mostly newer — just 44% predates 1990 — and 69% of households are owner-occupiers.
Short version
Tenure in Longmont is close to even, at 69% owner-occupied and 31% rented. Where a home is rented the fixture is usually the landlord's to repair, so the lease decides who arranges the work and who is billed for it. Most of the housing there postdates 1990, so a 1.6 gallon fixture is the likely one, and age is rarely the explanation.

What the age of Longmont’s housing suggests
With only 44% of homes built before 1990, Longmont is a town of modern fixtures. EPA’s WaterSense label goes further than the standard at 1.28 gallons per flush.
The figure is about construction dates rather than what is bolted to the floor, but in a town this new the two are less likely to have diverged.

What is actually wrong with it
Work from the symptom rather than the fixture. Continuous running has a ten-minute test that settles it; water at the base is identified by when it appears rather than where; and a handle that does nothing is visible the moment the tank lid is off.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
