Toilet Repair in Homedale, ID
In Homedale, about 63% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 29% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
In Homedale the split runs 71% owner-occupied against 29% 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 63% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What is actually wrong with it
Start by naming the symptom precisely, because the four common ones have nothing in common mechanically. A tank that never stops refilling, a handle that does nothing, water appearing at the floor and a flush that needs two goes are four separate repairs.
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.
