Toilet Repair in Coxs Creek, KY
Only 33% of homes in Coxs Creek predate 1990. At 96% owner-occupied, this is a town where the fixture is probably modern and the decision is definitely yours.
Short version
Owner-occupiers hold 96% of the occupied homes in Coxs Creek. For most households there the toilet is theirs outright, so the repair can be arranged directly without a landlord, an agent or a lease in the way. With most homes built since 1990, the fixture is probably already a 1.6 gallon one and its age is unlikely to be the fault.

What the age of Coxs Creek’s housing suggests
Only 33% of housing units in Coxs Creek were built before 1990, and 49% 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
Work from the symptom rather than the fixture. Continuous running has a ten-minute test that settles it; water at the base is identified by when it appears rather than where; and a handle that does nothing is visible the moment the tank lid is off.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
