Toilet Repair in Lone Tree, CO
Most households in Lone Tree rent — 46% of them — and the housing is newer, with only 23% of it built before 1990.
Short version
In Lone Tree, 46% of occupied homes are rented. That usually puts the toilet on the landlord's side of the line, so a tenant's job is to report the fault rather than to find somebody to fix it. Most of the housing there postdates 1990, so a 1.6 gallon fixture is the likely one, and age is rarely the explanation.

What the age of Lone Tree’s housing suggests
With only 23% of homes built before 1990, Lone Tree is a town of modern fixtures. EPA’s WaterSense label goes further than the standard at 1.28 gallons per flush.
The figure is about construction dates rather than what is bolted to the floor, but in a town this new the two are less likely to have diverged.

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.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
