Toilet Repair in Verona, MO
Verona is an owner-occupied town whose housing straddles 1990: 54% of it predates that year, which is where the flush-volume standard divides old fixtures from new.
Short version
89% of occupied homes in Verona 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 54% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Verona’s housing suggests
Verona is a mixed-age town — 54% of its homes were built before 1990. That puts a pre-standard fixture somewhere around even odds before you look at anything.
Looking is easy, and it beats the average: most tanks carry a date on the underside of the lid.

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 them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.

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.
If the dye test pointed at the flapper, that is a part, not a fixture.Worth saying on the call, because it changes what somebody arrives with. We connect you to a contractor covering your area and you are never charged. Whatever wants a plumber in Verona can be raised when you call.
