Toilet Repair in Greenup, KY
In Greenup, 83% of households own their home, and the housing splits fairly evenly either side of 1990 — 61% of it is older than that.
Short version
83% of occupied homes in Greenup 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. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 61% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Greenup’s housing suggests

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
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.
