Toilet Repair in Nevada, TX
Nevada is a new town by the standards of this data — 15% of housing built before 1990 — with 93% of households owning their home.
Short version
In Nevada, 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. Most of the housing there postdates 1990, so a 1.6 gallon fixture is the likely one, and age is rarely the explanation.

Who this page is for in Nevada
With 93% of households owning their home, Nevada is a town where the answer to “whose repair is this” is nearly always the same one. The interesting question is which part has failed.

What the age of Nevada’s housing suggests
Only 15% of housing units in Nevada were built before 1990, and 73% went up from 2000 onwards. Anything installed new in those homes was built to the 1.6 gallon standard or below it.
That makes an original pre-standard fixture unusual here — though the data dates the house, and a fixture can be older than the room it is in if it came out of somewhere else.

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.
