Toilet Repair in Roy, UT
Roy has a mixed-age housing stock, 58% of it built before 1990, in a town where 86% of households are owner-occupiers.
Short version
86% of occupied homes in Roy 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. At 58% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Roy’s housing suggests
About 58% of homes in Roy predate 1990. That is close enough to even that the town average tells you very little about any one house, which is worth saying rather than dressing up.
What it does tell you is that both generations of fixture are common here, and they fail in different ways.

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.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
