Toilet Repair in Rineyville, KY
Rineyville has a mixed-age housing stock, 48% of it built before 1990, in a town where 92% of households are owner-occupiers.
Short version
92% of occupied homes in Rineyville 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 48% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Rineyville’s housing suggests
48% of Rineyville’s 2,121 housing units were built before 1990. EPA puts pre-standard toilets at 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons a flush against 1.6 for anything built to the standard.
In a town this evenly split the age of the house is a weak guide, and it is the age of the house rather than the toilet in any case.

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.
