Water meter still spinning even after shutting off water to house?

Question

Our water meter is continuously spinning even after shutting off all the water to the house. We do have 2 different toilets that run about 4 times an hour on their own. I was wondering if the spinning meter could be that, or if it's definitely something else after shutting off house water? I would GREATLY appreciate any advice you may have as we are currently trying to sell and have absolutely no money for major repairs, thank you so much!

I had a rental house a number of years ago that I bought and when I bought it there was a leak in the pipe between the meter and the house and it wasn't disclosed.
You should have a shutoff valve on the house, if it's functional, turn it off and see if the meter stops. If it doesn't stop you've got a leak between the meter and the house.
I also agree with Harper, fixing toilets is cheap and easy and will save on your water bill.
