Toilet Repair in Inola, OK
Inola is an owner-occupied town whose housing straddles 1990: 52% of it predates that year, which is where the flush-volume standard divides old fixtures from new.
Short version
85% of occupied homes in Inola 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. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 52% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Inola’s housing suggests
52% of Inola’s 2,858 housing units were built before 1990. EPA puts pre-standard toilets at 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons a flush against 1.6 for anything built to the standard.
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
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
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.
