Toilet Repair in Bellbrook, OH
Bellbrook sits in the middle of both measures — 58% of housing built before 1990, 80% of households owning their home.
Short version
In Bellbrook the split runs 80% owner-occupied against 20% 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 58% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Bellbrook’s housing suggests
Roughly 58% of housing here predates 1990 and 26% was built from 2000 onwards, so Bellbrook 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
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.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
