Toilet Repair in Statham, GA
In Statham, 85% of households are owner-occupiers and just 30% of the housing was built before 1990 — so a pre-standard fixture is the exception here.
Short version
85% of occupied homes in Statham are owner-occupied, so a failed toilet there is almost always the occupant's own to repair and the occupant's own to pay for. Nothing has to be cleared with anybody before the work is arranged. 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 Statham’s housing suggests
Statham is newer than most: just 30% of its 3,606 housing units predate 1990. The flush-volume question that dominates older towns mostly does not arise here.
What does arise is the opposite one. Early fixtures built to meet the new limit cut the water without redesigning the bowl, and some of them flush poorly by design.

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.
