Toilet Repair in Violet, LA
About 63% of homes in Violet were built before 1990 and 83% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
In Violet, 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. At 63% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Violet’s housing suggests
Roughly 63% of housing here predates 1990 and 27% was built from 2000 onwards, so Violet 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
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
Ask which part was tested before the fixture was blamed. On a running toilet that means the dye test; on a leak at the base it means whether the flange was looked at. A quote to reset a toilet that does not mention the flange has not established why the last seal failed.
