The rapper is being held on $20,000 bond, according to county records.
The vandalism case is being treated as a felony because it caused $20,000 in damages according to the homeowner, the sheriff's department said.
"We didn't do this search warrant to send a message, that's not what we do," Thompson said. "This has nothing to do with him being a celebrity. This is a felony crime."
Thompson said the cost of damages was high because the exterior of Bieber's neighbor's home was made of imported wood and brick.
It is not known what triggered the alleged incident between Bieber and his neighbor, but the Canadian-born pop star has had several publicized run-ins with neighbors.
Last year, Bieber was accused of speeding through the neighborhood in a Ferrari sports car and also spitting on his neighbor during a confrontation over parties at the singer's home. Prosecutors did not bring charges against Bieber in either case.
