Toilet Repair in Tyrone, GA
Only 39% of homes in Tyrone predate 1990. At 91% owner-occupied, this is a town where the fixture is probably modern and the decision is definitely yours.
Short version
91% of occupied homes in Tyrone 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. 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 Tyrone’s housing suggests
Only 39% of housing units in Tyrone were built before 1990, and 43% 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
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 them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
