Toilet Repair in Owingsville, KY
Owingsville sits in the middle of both measures — 59% of housing built before 1990, 67% of households owning their home.
Short version
In Owingsville the split runs 67% owner-occupied against 33% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 59% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What is actually wrong with it
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
