Vladimir Yefimov oversaw for a long time the control and supervision of real estate, local monopolies and housing and communal services, acquired the necessary knowledge and experience in this area. These facts allow us to express confidence that his work will positively affect the rational use of the city land potential".
On February 20, 2013 Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin signed an edict providing merger of the Department of Land Resources and the Property Department. He also appointed Vladimir Efimov as head of the new Moscow Property Department.[6]
The department headed by Efimov was the first body to develop regulations for public services in the sphere of property and land relations. It is also the first department which introduced a quality management system in accordance with ISO 9001: 2008.
During organization of the new Moscow Property Department the number of employees was reduced by 30%, which significantly reduced the costs for officials' salaries.
Land reform
editAt a time when Vladimir Efimov was a head of the Moscow Property Department, a number of important events were held:

In June 2014, on the initiative of Yefimov, amendments were adopted to the Land Law of the Russian Federation[8] granting to the owners of buildings rights to increase the area of land plots, which provided an opportunity for the development of the territories and increasing the incomes of the city budget.[9]
There has been created a transparent system of calculating fees for changing the purpose of using a land plot for construction, depending on the building density and cadastral value. Investors got opportunity to calculate independently the amount of payment on the site of the Moscow Property Department.
Experts noted the transparency of this formula for potential investors:
"The head of the analytical center of Real Estate Company Est-a-Tet Investment Denis Bobkov expressed about the introduced calculation system the following opinion: «The procedure has become more understandable, it will be easier to master new territories. Of course, the main buyers of large areas will be developers who acquire land for building large-scale facilities."
