A half-integral polygon with quasi-period collapse behaves similarly to a lattice polygon in the sense that the number of lattice points in its integer dilates can be calculated as values of a polynomial, its Ehrhart polynomial. As a main result, we classify the Ehrhart polynomials of all half-integral non-lattice polygons with quasi-period collapse. In particular, we obtain that for any positive integer $i$, the polynomial $\frac{ 4i+5}{ 2}t^2+\frac{ 2i+7}{ 2}t+1\in \mathbb{ Q}[t]$ is an Ehrhart polynomial of a rational polygon, which was an open question for $i>1$. We also study some extreme cases in detail. In particular, we show that up to affine unimodular equivalence there exist exactly $30$ half-integral non-lattice polygons with quasi-periodic collapse with exactly one interior lattice point, which are the dual polygons of the $30$ LDP polygons of Gorenstein index $2$. Furthermore, we classify all half-integral polygons with quasi-period collapse with at most $6$ interior lattice points or with $i\geq 1$ interior lattice points and the maximum possible number $2i+7$ of boundary lattice points.
