Toilet Repair in Bountiful, UT
In Bountiful, about 74% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 28% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
72% of occupied homes in Bountiful are owner-occupied and 28% are rented, which is close enough to even that the first question is which you are. A landlord is generally responsible for a fixture in a tenancy; an owner is not. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 74% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Bountiful’s housing suggests
Bountiful straddles the line: 74% of its housing units were built before 1990, when the Energy Policy Act of 1992 set the 1.6 gallon maximum, and the rest since.
So the housing stock genuinely does not predict the fixture here, and the date inside the tank lid is worth more than any figure on this page.

What is actually wrong with it
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
Ask which part was tested before the fixture was blamed. On a running toilet that means the dye test; on a leak at the base it means whether the flange was looked at. A quote to reset a toilet that does not mention the flange has not established why the last seal failed.
