Toilet Repair in Loveland, CO
Neither figure in Loveland points one way. 48% of the housing was built before 1990 and 33% of households are renting.
Short version
In Loveland the split runs 67% owner-occupied against 33% 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 48% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Loveland’s housing suggests

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 which part was tested before the fixture was blamed. On a running toilet that means the dye test; on a leak at the base it means whether the flange was looked at. A quote to reset a toilet that does not mention the flange has not established why the last seal failed.
