The penalty depends on whether it is charged as a felony or misdemeanor. The value of the repair of damage determines the degree of charge. Damage under $1,000 is a misdemeanor and over becomes a felony.

Typically most keying repairs are less than $1,000, and result in a misdemeanor charge with a fine as a penalty and restitution to the victim. A felony could lead to an additional two or three years of supervised probation for first time offenders. The penalty may increase to include incarceration for repeat felony offenders.
