Toilet Repair in Marionville, MO
Neither figure in Marionville points one way. 65% of the housing was built before 1990 and 33% of households are renting.
Short version
In Marionville the split runs 67% owner-occupied against 33% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 65% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

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 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.

Checking a plumber in Missouri
Checking a credential in Missouri
Missouri has no state plumbing board. Section 341.010 of the Revised Statutes requires a certificate for plumbers working in cities or towns of fifteen thousand or more inhabitants, and the chapter elsewhere recognizes licenses issued by any county or city operating under plumbing rules, so the office that issued one is a local office. Start here. Ask the contractor which municipality licenses them and confirm it with that office before work begins.
