Toilet Repair in Firestone, CO
In Firestone, 83% of households own their home, and the housing splits fairly evenly either side of 1990 — 51% of it is older than that.
Short version
83% of occupied homes in Firestone 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 51% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Firestone’s housing suggests
Roughly 51% of housing here predates 1990 and 37% was built from 2000 onwards, so Firestone has both generations in quantity.
Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

What is actually wrong with it
Work from the symptom rather than the fixture. Continuous running has a ten-minute test that settles it; water at the base is identified by when it appears rather than where; and a handle that does nothing is visible the moment the tank lid is off.
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.
