Collar Ties need to be on all rafter correct....should i defer this to a framing contractor?

If it's a relatively new home, I would refer it to a contractor. Absolutely.
If it's very old and no sag is noted, then I'd just note that it doesn't meet today's commonly accepted standards but may have been appropriate at the time of construction.

Curious,............. what is going on with the 2x4 blocks tied toward the bottom of the rafter?
Are those rafter cantilevered on the ceiling joist? Jeff |

Some jurisdictions don't require collar ties.
