Toilet Repair in Randolph, MN
Randolph is an owner-occupied town whose housing straddles 1990: 59% of it predates that year, which is where the flush-volume standard divides old fixtures from new.
Short version
89% of occupied homes in Randolph 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. At 59% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Randolph’s housing suggests
Roughly 59% of housing here predates 1990 and 31% was built from 2000 onwards, so Randolph has both generations in quantity.
Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

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.
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.
