Toilet Repair in Willisburg, KY
In Willisburg, 83% of households are owner-occupiers and just 45% of the housing was built before 1990 — so a pre-standard fixture is the exception here.
Short version
In Willisburg, 83% 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. 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 Willisburg’s housing suggests
Only 45% of housing units in Willisburg were built before 1990, and 33% went up from 2000 onwards. Anything installed new in those homes was built to the 1.6 gallon standard or below it.
That makes an original pre-standard fixture unusual here — though the data dates the house, and a fixture can be older than the room it is in if it came out of somewhere else.

What is actually wrong with it
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
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.
