Toilet Repair in Greenville, IN
In Greenville, 98% of households are owner-occupiers and just 40% of the housing was built before 1990 — so a pre-standard fixture is the exception here.
Short version
98% of occupied homes in Greenville 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 Greenville’s housing suggests
Greenville is newer than most: just 40% of its 1,930 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
The fault list is short. A running tank and a weak flush are both usually parts inside the tank. A leak at the base is the one that damages the building, and a fixture that rocks is the one that causes it.
Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
