Toilet Repair in Williamsburg, IN
Two things are true of Williamsburg at once. The housing is old — 78% of it predates 1990 — and at 86% owner-occupied, the repair decision is the reader's own.
Short version
In Williamsburg, 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 is 78% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Williamsburg’s housing suggests
Housing in Williamsburg is mostly older than the standard: 78% of it went up before 1990. A toilet fitted when those homes were built used at least twice what a current one does.
Whether the original is still there is a different question, and the only way to settle it is to look at the fixture.

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.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
