Toilet Repair in Iron City, GA
Only 42% of homes in Iron City predate 1990. At 82% owner-occupied, this is a town where the fixture is probably modern and the decision is definitely yours.
Short version
In Iron City, 82% 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 Iron City’s housing suggests
Iron City is newer than most: just 42% of its 527 housing units predate 1990. The flush-volume question that dominates older towns mostly does not arise here.
What does arise is the opposite one. Early fixtures built to meet the new limit cut the water without redesigning the bowl, and some of them flush poorly by design.

What is actually wrong with it
The fault list is short. A running tank and a weak flush are both usually parts inside the tank. A leak at the base is the one that damages the building, and a fixture that rocks is the one that causes it.
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.
