Toilet Repair in Milton, KY
Milton is an owner-occupied town whose housing straddles 1990: 67% of it predates that year, which is where the flush-volume standard divides old fixtures from new.
Short version
82% of occupied homes in Milton 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. At 67% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Milton’s housing suggests
Roughly 67% of housing here predates 1990 and 20% was built from 2000 onwards, so Milton has both generations in quantity.
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
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.
Ask what happens to the floor. A leak at the base has usually been going for a while by the time it is visible, and whether the subfloor and flange are sound is the difference between a seal replacement and a return visit.
