Toilet Repair in Milford Center, OH
Milford Center is an owner-occupied town whose housing straddles 1990: 66% of it predates that year, which is where the flush-volume standard divides old fixtures from new.
Short version
In Milford Center, 93% 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. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 66% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Milford Center’s housing suggests

In a town this evenly split the age of the house is a weak guide, and it is the age of the house rather than the toilet in any case.

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.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
