Toilet Repair in Seffner, FL
In Seffner, about 61% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 25% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
Tenure in Seffner is close to even, at 75% owner-occupied and 25% rented. Where a home is rented the fixture is usually the landlord's to repair, so the lease decides who arranges the work and who is billed for it. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 61% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

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
Start by naming the symptom precisely, because the four common ones have nothing in common mechanically. A tank that never stops refilling, a handle that does nothing, water appearing at the floor and a flush that needs two goes are four separate repairs.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
