Toilet Repair in Fleming Island, FL
In Fleming Island, 87% of households are owner-occupiers and just 16% of the housing was built before 1990 — so a pre-standard fixture is the exception here.
Short version
In Fleming Island, 87% 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. 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 Fleming Island’s housing suggests
Only 16% of housing units in Fleming Island were built before 1990, and 52% went up from 2000 onwards. Anything installed new in those homes was built to the 1.6 gallon standard or below it.
That makes an original pre-standard fixture unusual here — though the data dates the house, and a fixture can be older than the room it is in if it came out of somewhere else.

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.
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.
