Toilet Repair in Malad City, ID
About 68% of homes in Malad City were built before 1990 and 87% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
In Malad City, 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. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 68% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Malad City’s housing suggests
Malad City straddles the line: 68% of its housing units were built before 1990, when the Energy Policy Act of 1992 set the 1.6 gallon maximum, and the rest since.
So the housing stock genuinely does not predict the fixture here, and the date inside the tank lid is worth more than any figure on this page.

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.
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.
