Does the value of destroyed property have a gameplay effect?

The value of destroyed property is briefly shown on the upper-left corner of the screen, for example 500$ after tearing a sofa. Is there any reason to avoid destruction, do I for example have to reimburse out of my own pocket?

Solution 1:

Sadly, no.

However, there are achievements / trophies for console versions associated with property damage:

  • Nice Shootin', Tex! - Complete the game with over $100,000 in property damage
  • The Destructor - Complete the game with over $3,000,000 in property damage
