What is the 2% tax paid on the sale of a Colorado residence for?

As a successor trustee living in Kansas and handling an estate, I sold a Colorado residence, which was assigned to a trust.  I was required to pay a 2% tax, $4,000, on the proceeds at closing.  Does anyone know what the tax is for?

 

Will I have to file an estate tax return for Colorado?  And will the 2% tax be refunded once the return is  processed?

 

Thank you!
