Toilet Repair in Homosassa, FL
Homosassa is an owner-occupied town whose housing straddles 1990: 51% of it predates that year, which is where the flush-volume standard divides old fixtures from new.
Short version
91% of occupied homes in Homosassa 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 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.
