Toilet Repair in Lyons, CO
About 62% of homes in Lyons were built before 1990 and 86% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
In Lyons, 86% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. That puts the fixture, the decision and the bill in the same pair of hands, which is why the practical question is what is wrong rather than whose job it is. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 62% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Lyons’s housing suggests
About 62% of homes in Lyons predate 1990. That is close enough to even that the town average tells you very little about any one house, which is worth saying rather than dressing up.
What it does tell you is that both generations of fixture are common here, and they fail in different ways.

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.
