In 2009 Efimov was appointed the head of the Office of the Federal Antimonopoly Service in Moscow. [2]

In 2011 he was invited to the Government of Moscow for the ministerial post - the head of the Department of Land Resources. [3]

In 2013 there were structural changes in the Government of Moscow: the Department of Land Resources and the Property Department were merged, and Vladimir Efimov headed a new department - the Moscow Property Department. In 2014 the Department of Housing Policy entered the Moscow Property Department. The functions of the Moscow City Property Department were extended. [4]

Since February 2017 [5] he has been Minister of the Government of Moscow, Head of the Department of Economic Policy and Development of Moscow.

Minister of the Government of Moscow

On December 6, 2011 Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin Sergei Sobyanin announced the appointment of Vladimir Yefimov to the ministerial post of the Moscow Government—the head of the Moscow Department of Land Resources. [4] The head of the Federal Antimonopoly Service of Russia Igor Artemyev expressed himself about Vladimir Efimov: "We recommended the candidacy of Vladimir Efimov for this post and support his appointment. 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

At a time when Vladimir Efimov was a head of the Moscow Property Department, a number of important events were held:

The implementation of these measures allowed to begin the design of land plots for multi-apartment buildings by tenants in 2015. [7]

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."

In Moscow historic buildings are being saved with the help of private funds: the money is spent on repair and restoration. Over the past five years,[ when? ] the city has been operating a rental program "one ruble per square meter" which is beneficial to entrepreneurs, residents and the city, said the Minister of The government of Moscow Vladimir Efimov. [10]

The program “a ruble per square meter” acts in Moscow for last five years. The auction winners rents historical buildings for 50 years term for very little money.
