Toilet Repair in Quincy, FL
In Quincy, about 66% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 31% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
In Quincy the split runs 69% owner-occupied against 31% 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 66% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Quincy’s housing suggests
Roughly 66% of housing here predates 1990 and 19% was built from 2000 onwards, so Quincy has both generations in quantity.
Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

What is actually wrong with it
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
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.

If the dye test pointed at the flapper, that is a part, not a fixture.Worth saying on the call, because it changes what somebody arrives with. We connect you to a contractor covering your area and you are never charged. Toilets are one subject; we serve Quincy on all the others too.
