Toilet Repair in Dry Fork, VA
Dry Fork has a mixed-age housing stock, 60% of it built before 1990, in a town where 84% of households are owner-occupiers.
Short version
In Dry Fork, 84% 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 60% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Dry Fork’s housing suggests
60% of Dry Fork’s 2,011 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
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.
Ask what happens to the floor. A leak at the base has usually been going for a while by the time it is visible, and whether the subfloor and flange are sound is the difference between a seal replacement and a return visit.
