Toilet Repair in Stuart, VA
In Stuart, about 67% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 26% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
In Stuart the split runs 74% owner-occupied against 26% 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. At 67% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

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.
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.
